The clip is good for frames but the reel for storing metal strip stock is terrible. As you rewind the tape, the handle rotates rapidly to release the tension accumulated in the loops. Better keep your fingers out of the way. The group essentially becomes a spring that fills the gap. If the reel was attached to the body of the clip and had auto-rewind like a tape measure, it would be much better. Good enough to keep, but won't buy again.
