What is the 30 lb rating on the line?

It is the line's breaking strength. It suits small to medium kites in light to moderate wind. Larger kites or gusty days call for heavier line.

How much line does it hold?

It comes spooled with 500 ft of braided polyester line. That is enough for typical park and field flying at moderate height.

The snap swivel clips to most kites with a bridle loop, including traditional paper and plastic diamond kites. Match the kite size to the 30 lb line.

No. It is a plain hand-held winder, so you control line speed by hand. Ratchet reels wind faster but add weight and complexity.

Yes, with supervision. The wooden frame is easy to grip, but children may need help reeling in 500 ft of line.
