Vent: why I stopped hating on the Klein fish tape reels

Honestly, I always thought the blue Klein reels were overpriced junk. Then last month I was pulling 200 feet of cat6 through a conduit on a Johnson Street job and my buddy handed me his. The lock mechanism actually held this time, saved me like 20 minutes of cursing.

Wait, those spring-loaded ones weren't just me?

Did I really just get excited about a tape reel locking mechanism?

Grabbed a buddy's blue reel on a rough pull last month and that lock actually saved my ass too. Night and day from fighting with the spring-loaded ones.
