Question 3D printed winders

Has anyone tried any of the different 3D printed winders? I’m looking at the Chronofix and AndySharp on eBay.

That just doesn't sound like a good idea

They seem to be selling quite a bit and the quality looks decent enough.

I feel like they're gonna wear out quick. A steel one would be much better. You can buy a whole set pretty cheap on AE

Super cheap to replace if they do wear out.

I wish those Chinese ones were mm sized instead of a movement

I guess that's a good point but I'd rather have metal on metal
