Does the tape fully retract or does some of it not retract as seen in the photo?

A portion of the tape remains outside of the body of the retraction unit. This gives it more functionality. This is a VERY NICE, HIGH QUALITY device. I love mine and highly recommend it!

It does fully retract all the way down to metal clasp on the large model. Some of the smaller ones have a lead that doesn't retract all the way.

It's supposed to be loose so it doesn't clog up or get hard to move. Mine is held on by a rivet and would be impossible to pry off by hand, but still flicks back and forth easily. It still has a little gap when closed; it's not going to seal airtight.

Both sides retract. It comes with plastic pins that run vertically into the frame so one side can be made not to move when the other side is opened. Without this both sides will retract when opening.

Hey there, no the cord does not retract. I am not super happy with this set. Mine came in the mail pre opened and dusty and the small curlers are really small, I can only use the larger ones.

The tape stays separate from the roll. This is just as good as the other for $30My husband loves this and says it's a must have !

I thought it did come with 2 sided tape. I agree with Alexander K. that the original tape is so sticky that I will just re-use it reather than trying to get the original off.

Not sure since I have not used this type of tape in a long time, but from I remember it does not do any damage, just hard to remove sometimes depending on the surface.

Separate? Come apart? Its double sided tape which is removable. I've never had a problem with it working for and howt its designed to be used.

The tape is plastic with adhesive on the back. It takes a bit of work to "pick at" a corner to remove the plastic labels. You may need some "goo remover" to remove any residual adhesive.

The tape is white. I use it to tape puppy ears and like it because it is not super sticky like some other tapes, yet it sticks well to it's self and other materials without pulling out all the hair when I take it off.

No, it does not. However, the edge where the tape starts is very easy to find and to pull up, even though it is sticky.

It retracts a little bit, but after you stretch it out it mostly stays that far stretched.

it self retracts and has a hole at the end where you could put a string or attach it to a key chain. I just leave it in the machine. It doesn't move around. You could always label it.

Hi Shirl, No.....once the cord/chain is pulled out it can not lock and is free to retract, unlike a tape measure that can be locked. Thanks, George

Retracted right away, but the retraction is not the best. Already messing up a bit and only used a few times.

No it doesn't retract. It stands about 8" high by 6 or 7" deep. Juices very fast and easy to clean.

The tape itself sticks very well to whatever you affix it to (if you clean the surface first, I use rubbing alcohol) but you can separate and reattach the items just like velcro. It is, however, much stronger than velcro so if you use too big of a piece it can be physically difficult (though possible) to remove and reattach the item. So the duallock strips stay in place on the items, but the items can be re-positioned.
