David, I bought one of those hand-wound winders perhaps 18 months ago. A total waste of money, it is junk! The castings are so crude, including the gears, which wobble as they turn. I can only conclude they were fettled by someone crouching in the dirt, holding them between their feet.
I'll not say any more or you will think I am exaggerating.
