The reel portion has encircled thereabout a flat constant torque coil spring acting as a spring clutch, the free end of the coil spring being secured to one end of a trigger member, which is pivotally secured within the housing. The main body portion is provided with a pair of aligned openings through which an operator can manipulate the trigger whereupon repeated pivoting of the trigger causes the shaft to continuously rotate in a given direction.
