When I first saw this product, I thought it might be kind of neat. In reality, just about everything about it stinks.1. It is big and heavy2. It is slow- extending the tape 8' takes several seconds3. It lacks power- the motor slowly grinds to a halt and won't extend the tape further than about 8'.4. The rewind spring to too weak- you have to help the tape back in.I'm as big of a gadget fan as anyone, but save yourself some money on this one- it really has no redeeming qualities.
