Komelon Tape Measure Not Locking? Here's The Solution!

Self-Locking tape measures are great. They have replaced EVERY OTHER tape measure I used to have in the shop. But, my new ones were sloppy, and kept retracting whenever I tried to measure something. Veryyyy frustrating.
Today, we are going to strengthen your tape measures holding power so you can get back to enjoying your woodworking project!

I was so excited when I discovered self locking tape measures. The whole world should use them for sure

Seriously though. Why do non self locking tape measures exist?! They are the worst.

No problem! I remember taking apart my first (non self-lock) tape measure and it literally exploding. At least these tapes are in a little case :)
