Review on πŸ”§ Beyond BLACK+DECKER Autolock BDHT36725AP: The Ultimate Power Tool with Advanced Autolock Feature by John Springer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was oh broken

I have used this tape measure several times for short lengths and it has worked well. Today I pushed it out a few feet and it didn't retract properly. I took it out and tried it a few times. If I could get it to pull it in and then pull it out again, it would fail. This is one week after Revain's return deadline. The manufacturer will replace it if I send it to them, but the cost and inconvenience of returning it outweighs the cost of a replacement. If it works properly I would like it. Update: Having decided the tape measure is broken and I won't be sending it back, I decided to open it up to find the problem. I loosened the four screws and got to the cabin with some agitation. There was a warning on the spool holding the ribbon that the spring was too tight and I wish I hadn't messed with it. So I put it back together and - it works fine. Find out. In the process, I removed a belt clip that I had never used that was getting in the way.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No work
