The automatic lock feature means the tape stays wherever you leave it. To retract it you have to press the button. This works so much better it will make your other tape measures obsolete!

Not too expensive and yet is an awesome tape works as expected

I thought this was a great purchase until the lock mechanism jammed--after only a few months of occasional use. I cant recall anymore exactly how it happened, but all I know is I pulled out the metal tape to measure something fairly long, and I was unable to retract it. Possibly the weight of the tape when extended for more than a foot or so was too much for the tape to handle without warping; that would be my guess.

I love the locking feature. Ive snapped my fingers with tape measures in the past. Not possible with this tape measure.

Work well.

great functioning tape measure tool ,can compete with the big boys at 1/2 the price. 5*****

My old tape broke and I bought this one because of the lock feature. The green color makes it easy to spot while getting mixed up in a project. The lock feature enables me to use it and not have to ask someone to hold it for me while measuring. Highly recommend it.

My tape was not locking after some usage. I assumed it was a defect in the tape. However, I found that I was misusing it and causing it not to lock properly. The locking feature depends on the rewind using the automatic rewind button to retract. However, I was occasionally pushing the tape back into the cassette manually which created some slack internally which resulted in the lock feature failing to work properly. To correct this I extended the tape to its maximum length and rewound it using the retract button. Viola, this cured the locking problem. Maybe most of you out there already knew this, but I was never aware of how this was supposed to be used.

This works very well. It locks in place and then retracts easily
