Here is a step by step guide on how to fix a broken retractable sewing tape measure. This video deals with reassembling a dismantled retractable sewing tape measure. Thanks for watching.
Thank you bro. I messed up my wife's sewing tape measure and fixed it using your help. Used a little bit of superglue to seal the outer case so I hope it will keep going for many more years.
What can I do; because when the tape rule comes out, it will never go in, and the cover does not cover again, it will just open back, whenever I try to close it
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess it's so they can fix it like how you showed in the video - I don't know how to open mine to do this fix either
I know it’s like a year since you asked but did you ever find out? Mine arrived without the little piece coming out and I can’t get to it. I need to open it to pull that out and then put the top back on.
thank you for the video, but after having succeeded in repairing my tape measure, the cover no longer holds, it comes off every time, what should I do?
You're welcome Gigi. You can carefully apply glue to hold both covers together, but there's a risk of glue seeping into the cover and bonding the tape to the cover. However, a safer approach is to bind the covers together with a masking tape or your preferred tape. Hope this helps. 😊
