Day before yesterday I bought this Sears retractable work light

It is too easy to pull the wire out of the reel. That is, the retracting spring in the reel is not wound tight enough. I hang it from the ceiling and it will not retract by itself. I have to lift the light to get it to retract and about half the time it won't retract even with me lifting it. It stops retracting and the cord bunches up like a wet noodle. This is not because it's jamming in the reel, it's because there is almost no tension pulling on the wire.
Does anybody have one of these? Does it retract on it's own? I'm trying to figure out whether to return it or exchange it. For reasons too involved to explain, it is difficult to hang the thing where I hang it, so I don't want to go to the trouble of hanging another just to find out it's a defect in all these units.
