A slide lock for a power return measuring tape including an elongated lock member having a resilient locking tongue extending longitudinally from a lower end of the lock member. Followers engage guide means in the housing for the measuring tape. The guide means includes a guiding surface formed by a ridge in each side wall against which the pins ride. The guiding surface defines a descending path to guide the tongue from a position above a measuring tape in the housing to a position in contact with the measuring tape. A lock surface is formed at a lower end of the guiding surface with a protrusion at a junction between the guiding surface and the lock surface. Movement of the pins over the protrusion to the lock surface forces the tongue in contact with the measuring blade and causes the tongue to bend to apply a clamping force to the measuring blade.
