Ratings & Reviews for IRWIN Blue STRAIT-LINE 35-ft Tape Measure

35 ft long measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 35 ft tape measure. It comes w the standard bells and whistles of a tape measurement. Tough lock to make sure the tape doesn’t swing back. The window at the bottom is a bonus to see the minute measure. At about 10 ft, it is harder to keep it straightened. A 4 star as the tape is large, heavy side so harder to hold for smaller hands.

Well built 35 ft Tape Measure with great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape it is big and has some weight to it. Very well built and has good retraction control. The cut out on the bottom was very well thought out. The back side of the tape is ruled and come in handy when you use the dual- sided hook. I don’t get that snap back feeling when retracting this tape at longer distances as I do with other tape measures. I could only get about 12 feet reach horizontally and around 15 feet vertical before the tape co...

Well designed tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great when you need more than 25' but not 50'. Nice bold numbers, symbols on a 1" wide tape. 3 rivits hold the end piece. 8' run tape before folding. Slot opening for larriot if needed. Both sides of tape bold measure and symbols.

Just found my favorite tape!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took my new 35' IRWIN Strait-Line on the job site this morning for the first time. Really like the extra 15' of length, dual-sided hook and tape! I also checked the tape for accuracy, it was spot on! Your 35' Irwin Strait-Line tape just replaces my 25' in the door panel of my truck!

Best tape ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The IRWIN Strait-line 35’ tape measure is the most versatile tape measure I have ever used. I am retired and do volunteer work with an organization building wheelchair ramps for people in need. The 35’ tape is the right size for these projects. The tape is marked on both sides, I never realized how useful this would be. The finger brake is great with better control than using a button or lever. Finally, I am so impressed how far you can ex...

Good tape measure

Easy to read on both sides. Good tape measure we use frequently.

Heavy, bulky

Its nice having the measurements on both sides, thats quite handy. However for a 16' tape it is exceptionally heavy and rathy bulky, not very ergonomic at all. It is actually heavier than some of my 25' ft tapes. Big fan of Irwin products. Hope they redesign this one.

Well made.

Not a cheap piece, very well made, reinforced first few inches make a big difference as well as the finger brake.

Junk

This tape bent some how on like the 2nd day. Why are tape measures made so cheaply anymore.

BEST TAPE MEASURE IN THE UNIVERSE

SAVED MY MARRIAGE

Clean out shopping carts before stacking

Easy to read both sides

Tape measure

Liked the tape if it had held up longer one month measuring windows every day and the tape starts to rip. Lowes should swap it for a new one but Noooo Lowes Said have to go to manufacture well I didn’t purchase it from manufacture 🤦🏻‍♂️

push tab broke

I purchased this tape measure because or Irwin's reputation and I have a hand disability so the size is easy to hold onto. Having purchase it Sept of '22 I expected it to last years. Having only using it a minimal amount, the push tab that is used to lock the blade broke, It appears it is only a hard plastic or rubber connection from the tab to the interior stop. I am not happy at all that I spend $35 for a tape measure for it to only last 8 months.

Poor quality

Too thin, snapped the first day at the 11" mark

Great features poor quality

Love the features this tape measure offers especially the finger brake. Unfortunately after just 2 days on the jobsite the tape bent badly rendering it useless. I considered returning it for another one hoping it was a fluke but ultimately decided to get my money back. If they would improve the tape quality they'd have a real winner until then look elsewhere.
