    No idea what you did at the end.

    Thank you. Did as you demonstrated. Mine seems to have rust damage on the interior spool. Soaked it in WD40, wiped surfaces clean as well as possible, sprayed again. Still the spooling doesn't work. Suggestions?

      How does the internal spring mechanism look? Still sitting tight and springy?

      Thank you for the reply. internal spring seems kind of bent up. I will avoid this problem in future by taking better care of my tools!

    Actually an even better way I just found out because I was to lazy to do all this, is that if you pull it out fully and then slowly retract it back in manually then it fixes itself :)
    No screwdriver or taking apart necessary.

      Works the first few times, but eventually it needs to be taken apart.

    A lot of the better brands will let you to and swap it for a new one at the store. I did it twice and didn’t need my receipt

    with tape extended and refusing to retract, try turning the tape/body sideways or fully upside down.

    Sorry but I don't like fix-it videos where the person doesn't talk. I'm not even watching to the end.
