The 8 Best Kite handles (2023 reviews)

The mints colorful life kite handle should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. This reel is worth every penny when it comes time to pull the kite in. It comes with enough straight line wind speed and constant you can fly a pipper cub. It can get easily tangled or the string jumps off the spool. It's well built and the line is strong. It's also best choice for an inattentive or clumsy child.

The 8" model is so much easier, it doesn't have the spring loaded feature, which is nigh impossible to get to work against the power of holding onto a kite in a medium wind. It's extremely easy to use, easy to hold position and easy to wind back. It takes a few minutes if the wind isn't too strong. This thing is amazing, and with so much line the kids will love it.

Great for a beginner on a budget
Well designed, well built kite reel
Comes in a nice carrying case too
