prob_01
The tape measure does not retract completely or retracts with difficulty.
Common root cause: Accumulation of dust, dirt, or moisture on the tape or in the retraction mechanism.
Step-by-step solution: Extend the tape fully. While holding the tape measure body, wipe the tape with a dry cloth. If the problem persists, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant spray to the tape (away from the hook) and operate the retraction mechanism several times.

⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation
The warranty should be activated if, after following the usage instructions and common troubleshooting steps, the tape measure exhibits a manufacturing defect, such as persistent failure of the retraction or locking mechanism, blade breakage without apparent misuse, or if the magnetic hook detaches from the tape measure body. These are defects that prevent normal use of the product and cannot be resolved by the consumer.
