A variably stressed spiral spring slows tape retraction near the end, cutting whip and reducing impact on the housing.
A variable-stress spiral spring reshapes tape measure torque to curb end-of-stroke retraction speed, force, whip, and blade damage.
A variable-stress spiral spring flattens tape measure torque to cut end-of-stroke whip, retraction speed, and hook impact.
