Another issue which my T1, the tape won’t retrack, if the tape is pulled out over 2m the spring isnt strong enough to retrack the blade,

Used mine today and I have the same issue, the blade won’t retract unless it’s out 3-4 meters. The mechanism feels “lumpy”. @therock any ideas on how to fix this?

Hey Trav, please send us a video to contact@reekon.tools and well take a look - may be something stuck in auto lock otherwise can replace the reel assembly.
