What’s Inside a Pittsburgh Tape Measure?

Cutting open a harbor freight Pittsburgh tape measure to see what’s inside

So there is a tool called a screwdriver, it might have been a better choice than the Milwaukee rotary tool.😊

@@Ratchet313 the rotary tool was for dramatic effect 🤣

I do believe the screw holding the belt clip on holds the center of the tape and the center of the spring together. If you had removed that screw, then you could’ve slid the rubber over molding off of the tape measure, using a standard Phillips screwdriver. You would have then been able to remove the rest of the screws and pull the thing apart without it flying all over the place. Was damn near driving the chisel through your hand also for dramatic effect? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Shoot a tape with a 12 gauge 1oz slug! Oh my god, I've never laughed so hard. The stanley chrome ones are the best to shoot, ive found out

Darwin award waiting to happen. Cuts open instead of removing one screw... No safety gear, holding it in his hand.
