Thank you. I accidentally pulled my measuring tape out too far and I had to take it apart and put back to together. This helped when all the insides went everywhere when I opened it.

I love this tape measure, but after half a year the self-lock was failing, and the tape started sliding in slowly by itself. I almost bought a brand new one but this video helped me to realize a bit of alcohol cleaning on the stopping wedge made it good as new. Thanks!

Zachary... Thank you. I likely would have taken mine apart and figured it out, but your instruction showed me that this seems to be a common issue with this tape measure. In my case it wasn't the loss of retraction, it was the slipping when it was supposed to stay in place. And as you said, it just needed cleaning, I used alcohol. I've raved about this tape to many people, it has three features that aren't found on ANY other tape measure... 1) the 'stay out' feature, 2) the super fortified end tab (three rivets), so the holes won't tear or go out of cal, 3) the extra end tab, one on top, one on the bottom side, and 4) the dual sided measuring scale, yellow on A, white on B. That last one alone is a 'why hasn't anyone done this before' aha moment. Mine is their 8 meter version, the only metric tape available anywhere. I absolutely LOVE this tape, I should buy a second one because... well you know. Thanks again. Doug in Maine.

Never mind the loose dishwasher bracket. Why would the new home owners accept the duel electrical outlets next to the dishwasher. That cannot be code anywhere in the world. My guess is the last homeowner was trying to take out the dishwasher operator! ;-)

Thank you! You saved my life 😂 I just broke my husbands tape and thanks to you I could fix it before he noticed 😅

Thanks putting it back together was frustrating until your video

thank you for this! 3 years later you're still helping people like me.

Thankkkkkk yoouuuu. U r the bestttt teacher

Sweet was gonna buy the 9 ft bottle opener craftsman but I think I'ma get this one but the 16ft one to start measuring some big plywood sheets to make a work table starting to teach myself woodworking projects little by little

Helppp it’s now making it go out not in

This video saved me from throwing out my tape measure and buying a new one. I would’ve never figured out there was a spring within the roll and winding it back up would do the trick. Thanks!

Awesome video but you talk too much

With a Komelon 25' tape measure, there are three Phillips screws instead of four as on the 30' tape. The screw nearest the tape exit does not come out all the way and bends a little as well. This has prevented access to the interior and the spring. What would you say is the problem? The tape measure is stuck in the extended position and will not retract at all.

I not only cleaned, but gave a light sanding with 100 grit paper on the white, wedge shape point. Seemed to help with the creeping back problem.

mine is not working

Thanks, this was very helpful to me, as a homeowner. Just had quartz installed & noted that the dishwasher was not fastened; countertop guys coming back to corrent this. Thanks again!

My problem was the thumb button for allowing the tape to retract had come out of position and wouldn't allow the tape to stop and would always retract. I might have figured it out without the video but the video got me there with a nudge to finally take the thing apart. Works fine now and I know how to fix the tension on the tape per your issue if that ever happens. Thanks for putting out the video!

my guess is Chameleon...

Thanks. This is very helpful. I just fixed mine.

Nice thanks for the info Ill keep close attention on my komelon

Thank you!

Thanks! Your video was very helpful. My Komelon 30' was completely seized up and would not pull in the last 7 feet. After following your instructions, giving it a good cleaning and turning it about 20 or so times, it now works good as new. Thanks again!

Thank you. Found one discarded today in this state of disrepair.

Very good👍👍

its 12 20 and my whole family is asleep didnt wanna break the tape bless your soul

Nice to put silicone to cushion against vibration. Most people don't use silicone and it can damager the granite counter.

Are u kidding me RUclips has nothing like mine my tape measure wont stay in it keeps popping out

Great video I was not sure how to secure the dishwasher into wife's new Quarts counter top! It would help if your voice was synced with video but still helpful Thanks.

And mine works again. Thank you!!

You literally showed me nothing. Take the entire tape off and show me how to put it back on dummy.

My issue is the opposite. My auto lock stopped working after a few months. Anyone know how to fix that issue?

Got my Komelon power blade only two weeks ago before it stop retracting because of dust and water. Thank you very much for the informative video to help me fix my tape measurement!

Thank you! Babysitting and my brother pulled it out too far. You saved us! Lol

Thank you it works!!

Thanks for this! I was able to save a tape that my son accidently pulled out too far!

Thank you I broke mine and didn’t want to get yelled at by my mom :P

Thankfully I found your video! I really loved my tape when I purchased it, but when the same happens I was so annoyed. I’ll try to fix it like you show us. Blessings and stay healthy. Hugs from Tampico, México 🇲🇽

Thanks for this video! Helper me get my Komelon self sock measuring tape working again!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good video! I needed to put a standard tape into a metric unit, your video helped with my same exact issue!

Omg thank you! My son broke ours! I was able to repair it!

Awesome!!

I pulled it out all the way and had to Wind it up and then I got confused thanks for this vid

Thanks man! I could save about 20 bucks by watching your vid

Well done. Simple and clear. I’m a fan.

Thanks I was in for some pain

Thank you for the explanation. Good to know. My problem only after a short while is the tape does not lock well when pulled out. Just the slightest pressure pushes the tape back in...very frustrating. Could it be that white brake piece at end of the release button mechanism is dirty and the tape is sliding over the brake? I hope a simple cleaning will be the fix for that. Sure hope that won't be a regular task. I wonder if the way the name is pronounced is..Ko-mee-lon...Potato..Po-tah-toh

That’s so much I was playing with the measuring tape cuz I was bored and it got stuck and now it’s good as new

Very Very Nice, Thanks Sir
