Empire® level is committed to developing layout and measurement solutions that provide trusted accuracy from project planning through project finish. The new AutoLock tape measures from Empire® level are designed to provide the very best durability, delivering abrasion resistance through a nylon coated blade and 5-screw housing for drop protection. Each includes an auto locking brake to hold the blade in place and provide better retraction for improved life. For added utility, a marking surface is included to assist when laying down a mark, scribing notes and taking measurements.
