I’m at home depot with this tape trying to see how long is 25ft but i was a little too fast and didn’t see the stop reference. This video save my money, my life and the embarrassment to check out at the cashier with the tape all stretch out 😂 good job man!

@@BourbonCreations I ended up buying the tape, its really nice and has a magnetic tip. Liked and suscribed.
Thank you so much. The auto lock one is definitely my favorite
I would have taken it to the cashier and said this tape is faulty, have a good day sir and walked out.
@@Kevin-cn7nb there is no way to make it look faulty unless the tape magically stretched out itself 🤨 but yeah just walk out

Me to man, so many kids who mess around with their dads tape measure have probably watched this.

Good advice. I was lucky. I removed the screws, was trying to separate the parts, but having no success. But then the tape started to go back in. So, all I had to do was remove the screws, let the tape go back in, and then reinstall the screws. Thanks!
That's awesome. Yeah, sometimes the screws can be in the way of letting it retract. Let me know if you need any other help and please consider liking the video and subscribing to the channel to help me grow 👊 🪚

Hey Bourbon,
My 3 year old grandson loves to come down to my wood shop to watch me fix/repair various stuff. He decided to play/explore my Milwaukee 12' tape,
appeared he was having a harmless good time with it. Wrong!! He must have decided to make my 12' tape into a 13' tape! A call to a local Milwaukee
repair store didn't help a bit, a pulled out tape measure didn't qualify for replacement under their limited warranty guarantee! So I'm pretty handy, watched
your video on the very subject. Boom! got the tape back in by following your guidance on the video. Did not have to take the tape fully apart. Small victories!
Jeff
So sorry for not seeing your post earlier. Thanks for sharing your story and I’m so happy you were able to get all fixed! It’s so cool we can use this community vs trying to get those warranties to work out. Please consider liking the video and subscribing to the channel to help me grow 👊🪚

Thank you! I also have a Milwaukee and just pulled it all the way out accidentally. Those little screws are really easy to strip with a hand screwdriver, so I switched to a nice sharp bit in the drill and a lot of down pressure with my drill after failing with the screwdriver. Came out and went in super cleanly and I was back up in a couple minutes. Thanks again!
Awesome, I'm glad it worked! I never thought about the screws and it would be hard to get an easy out in there. Definitely let me know if you need help with anything else. Please consider liking the video and subscribing to help the channel grow 👊🪚

Thank you! This worked perfectly on my Craftsman 25' tape measure! The first tip didn't work for mine, but after I unscrewed it, it easily wound itself back up. If I'd realized it was this easy, I would have done it a month ago when it broke.

Thank you so much for helping me and my little brother out! We found a tape measure and we wanted to see how long it would stretch out to and then realized it was 7ft, we started stressing out when it wouldn’t go back in so I searched a video up so I won’t get in trouble and this one came up and it helped!

Oh dear goodness thank you. I bought a brand new Milwaukee tape measure for the house as I had been using some weird gas station toy tape measure for the longest time and got tired of struggling with longer measurements. First time measuring my new patio to buy some curtains, I extended the tape beyond the 16ft it was designed for, my patio cover was 22 ft wide at its longest lol. I thought I ruined it permanently and almost threw it away. Left it all stretched out in my backyard for 2 days as I was too annoyed to go out and look at what I screwed up lol. Then at 11pm at night tonight, I decide to just google to see if I can fix it. Sure enough, find this video, immediately go outside and make an ungodly amount of noise bringing the outstretched tape into the house and into my office to watch this video at the same time I try to fix it lol. Boom! Fixed! Thank you!
