This rewinder looks like a car, but was cheaper than the one that looked industrial. It rewinds fast and hard and at the end, the sound it makes is pretty scary. It snapped the third tape we rewound. Pulled the tape out of the spool. We decided that since we were not rewinding precious tapes, we would try it some more and it has been OK. I still look at each tape though to make sure it is not broken. Full speed to the end and then whack!!!!! As I said, scary. Oh yes, the headlights come on the car during rewind if you amused by that sort of thing.
