Toys and Games Reviews of TOYSMITH My Big Tape Measure Toy
Customer Review: Often Requires Fixing
Summary: 2 Stars
Battat makes some good, low-budget toys. There are two design problems with this tape measure, however:
1) The ratchet makes it difficult to turn and what parent wants another toy that makes annoying noise. It is not as if real tape measures make clicking noises. You can, however, open this toy up with the five screws and completely remove the ratchet. That solves this problem entirely and makes the tape reel very easy to pull in.
2) Unfortunately, as other parents have noted, the tape often gets lodged between the two plastic shells that form the housing. Sometimes I can get it unstuck quickly, often I have to open the tape measure up again.
This would be a great, budget toy if it were designed properly. Unfortunately it is harder to use than a real tape measure. This one is fun until it fails, and then it lies around with its tape all unwound waiting for parental attention. Battat, please redesign!
