This can happen even with name brand steel fish tapes. Best way I found to avoid that issue is to retract it about 10 spins then pull the fish tape out without letting it spin to get rid of the slack inside. And just repeat that until it's all retracted.

I'm not an electrician by any means so I have no comparison and maybe it was user error, but I picked this us when I had to do some A/V wiring a few months ago. I found it wouldn't wind up very well and ended up a tangled mess with the line bulging out of the sides of the housing.

I just stretched out two metal wire cloth hangers, twisted them together, taped the cable on one end. Worked fine when I installed my ceiling fan from scratch and wired my house with cat6 cables. To me, the flat steel is too flexible and hard to operate.

I used threaded flexible cable for cleaning the dryer duct when running cables. It worked fine but will give this a go for the price.

Same quality, but better price than ones found at Home Depot. Pretty self explanatory, this does it's job, and I have had zero issues with it during my home IP camera install. Easy to retract (given that it's thick steel wire inside).
