When a measuring tape is extended to a given length, a power lock feature enables the user to secure the tape in place. A mechanism that stops the measuring tape from retracting is usually engaged by depressing a button or lever on the tape. This eliminates the need for the user to hold the tape in place with one hand during a measurement, which can be especially useful for longer measurements or while working alone. Typically, the user must depress a release button or lever in order to retract the tape and unlock the power lock. Modern measuring tapes frequently have power locks, and experts in a variety of fields, including building, engineering and woodworking.
