Can the brake be switched to a locked position or does the button have to be held down continuously for the brake to stay engaged?

You can lock the brake by pushing up on the little tab at the top of your thumb. I have a 95# Lab and it works very well and is very sturdy.

Yes. You press the button down and slide the lock up to keep the button pressed.

Yes. It is NO (normally open) switch. Push to close. Spring returns it to NO.

It's switchable between free spin and ratchet. You can customize which button you want to use to switch between. You can also set it to one mode that you prefer and not have your switching assigned to anything.

On mine, if I releasse the button in the handle when it is part way up, it locks in a lower position.

My unit does not have a lock on switch - Amazon must have information that is old or simply in error. But I honestly can not imagine you would want one, since this is a variable speed grinding tool. I was grinding off hardened 1/2" threaded bolts - it did that job easily at full speed.

Yes, it should automatically lock when u put it in the on position-if it doesnt just be sure u have it completely switched in the on position or it may have a defective switch.

No, it does not lock so to operate, slide the switch on top and squeeze the handle. Once the handle is released, it shuts off. It feels comfortable to me.

To lock, you turn the handle clockwise until it stops. To lower, turnthe handle counter clockwise(slowly). Too fast, and the car will dropquickly. Always use jackstands for extra safety when supporting anythingwith a hydraulic jack.

There are "handle squeeze brakes" that only lock the wheels when squeezed till you hear a click. You an slow your pace, if that is your question.

You have to hold the handle then press the button to lock the brakes. Then, when you want to release them, just squeeze the hand brake and the lock will pop up

It is not supposed to lock. It will go up and down on its own..Its a great machine, enjoy it!!

the motor has a lock on it and I have never had any issues. I usually ride with the lock in place because it keeps the battery from bouncing around too much...

Yes, there is a knob on the top of the fork on the right side that locks and unlocks or engages and disengages the suspension.

It can be locked at any point - there are no positive stops, just a friction collar. But it does lock pretty tight.

The only way that you could set the brake would be if you tied something around the hand brake to keep it on.

Once you engage the button it stays in that mode you do not have to keep pressing it you can put it back in the magnetic holder and it still retains whatever mode you have selected
