I bought one of those $30something ones from the Bosselmans/pilot in Des Moines IA in January of 2007 and it is still going strong. It comes with some assembly required and there are 4 rods that you insert that the strap winds around. It works better with just 2 of those rods. With 4 rods you get a very loose core to the strap and it makes a mess.
Currently the home depot trailers require the strap to be wound up on the winch, so I use my cordless drill to wind them up. I bought a $0.97 pack of allen wrenches at Wal Mart and use the largest one.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
