I had exactly the problem and my remedy was to place a push pin in the first little hole in the tape. It works well except when your tape turns off automatically after so many seconds of not using it. The remedy for this is to move the tape case out or in an inch or so now and then, just to keep it from turning off.
The best thing to do is return the tape and get your helper back. Grin. Regards, Tom H.

When mum learnt of my recent purchase of a talking tape measure she promptly said that I didn't need her help anymore. So, I proceeded to try measuring what I needed, but found it difficult to keep the end of the tape measure hooked on the end of what I was measuring. Has anyone else had this problem? How'd you deal with it? Or did you just have someone hold the end of the tape measure for you? Thanks Paul [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
