Bobbin winder?

Has anyone used one of these..
I want to wind bobbins from a large cone onto smaller ones to use on the coverstitch and overlocker. I do it on the sewing machine at the moment but thought this would be handy.

We used to use one at work but it wasn’t this one.  Be careful as they don’t always do all bobbins.

Check to make sure that isn't an industrial one.  And yes, I use it.

But I use the EZ Winder system with one of the larger Simplicity bobbin winders for what you're asking for for use on my domestic machines at the shop, and have a box of wooden spools to do it with.

Edit: I also have a mason jar on the floor I put the cone into to wind on the bobbin winder.  It works easier that way.

I wanted the EZ winder but they’re not available here... think I’ll chance one of those, it’s from China.
