That's the thing with most VHS VCRs when you were rewinding the tape the tape was never in contact with any of the heads or capstans when they rewinded so there really wasn't anything to get worn out on them when you were rewinding tapes in them which is why I see that those VHS rewinders as a waste of money. Now I can see a Betamax VCR needing one because most Betmax VCRs did actually have the tape in full contact with the heads and other critical parts when you were rewinding tapes in them, which would result in more wear and tear to the machine, but VHS didn't ever have any mechanisms that actually left the tape in full contact with the heads and capstans and other critical parts of the machine that would result in excessive wear and tear on the machine when a tape was rewound in the machine itself.
