Shouldn't you push the begining of the tension tape (the end that is in the center of coil) through that slitted "pin" that goes through the middle? Without it you can't get tension.

Good stuff..This is the way I've learned how many things operate.. I'm 0 for three myself in the "repair the tape measure" situation..But there are positive things we come away with when all is done..And This coming from a journeyman drywall specialist.. Sometimes tearing things up that no longer serve us , gives us a bit of satisfaction if nothing else..

I got a broken lufkin from work and the spring has ejected about a foot out of the spring holder. I cut a new catch and would the tape around but it wouldn't retract all the way so I have to wind it up to draw the spring back into the holder if possible

yeeaup it worked and it's useable again.. just preload the spring a few turns then attach the tape.. I would recommend cutting out a new key in the spring with a dremel to retain more material.. I'll definitely be more gentle with measuring tapes after understanding their assembly

I tried it but instead the holder is giving out the tape 😂😂 then i tried it to do it in opposite directions now it doesn't goes in the box that holds it as the holder mouth is in opposite directions. So after long 2 hours of struggle it comes out " if the tape comes out of the mouth of the box than there will be no tension in the inside coil and if there is tension in the inside coil that will not fit in the box " in short it doesn't work i have to throw the whole thing away

I fixed mine by connecting the yellow measure to the black spring end. Then winding the yellow tape measure around the blackspool. Then placing the spool in the case, then using pliers to tension the spring one turn before connecting it to the center axel (or just twisting the spool one revolution after spring attached to axel) to create tension. You know you did it right if you hold th spool in place and pull the yellow tape out a litte bit and it retracts back inside. Then finish up with the case. Video was helpful regardless, I didnt know how the spool/spring connected to the yellow tape as the connect part was hidden in my spool.

for anyone watching this the repair was correct all the way up to tensioning the spring, just put the spring into its holder with no more tension than it needs to just sit in there, then attach the tape, wrap it around the spool, then once its around put it into the tape body, once its in give it just 3 reverse twists of tension by just spinning it, because it goes under more tension when you take the tape out, and that tension is what spools it back in

One of the worst mistakes an elementary school teacher can make is teaching something wrong ! Taught correctly most students will remember something correctly for at least the near future. If you teach something wrong every student will remember it exactly wrong forever. You should learn how others solved the problem and avoid their mistakes. You are the person who didn’t learn from history and is doomed to repeat it.

assembly of the tape measure is simple once one knows how. first exam the spring. there is a subtle clue as to how it is wound. that clue is not the hook that attaches to the center pin nor the hook that attaches the rule. second : the direction of wind for the spring and the rule are opposite if i remember correctly. it's been a while so if i have mistaken i'll have to dismantle one and have a look see. it does take several turns to preload the spring and those turns are in extension with the rule end following the turns before seating in the mouth. the reel open side is facing out so one can install the cap once the hook is attached to the center pin. they work 100% if the spring is correctly wound. if yours doesn't retract correctly your spring isn't wound correctly.

I learned a little but stopped watching. There are extended periods of tinkering around with no preparation or prior knowledge, dim lighting contrast, no closeup shots and no clear explanation of critical details. (I was hoping for simple clear demonstration of how a factory worker might assemble a tape measure.)

My dad had given me a small tape on my 18th birthday, Nov 1971 - I have carried, and used it many times, a few months ago I couldn't use it at all - watching this allowed me to take apart, and even though it wasn't exactly like the one I had - I was able to get it to work again - thank you - I was not going to trash it.
