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

Good price for 2

So far so good. Tape measures are made so poorly in the last 5-10 years. Been a month and these have not gone bad yet

Great Double Sided Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good tape. Kind of bulky for everyday carry. But when you need a little more than 25’, it’s worth the hassle. I’ve had a Fat Max Stanly in my tractor for a while now. I compared the two and they are very much the same. This Lennox is just a smidge bigger but not enough to notice. It did stand out a very little farther than the Fat Max but it is newer, so comparable there too. I do think the markings on the bottom of the tape will come in handy ...

Heavy and hard to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 35’ tape measure is heavier than my other 30-35’ tape measures. It is difficult to pull out of the housing. It doesn't stand out 10’. One good thing is that the tape is marked on both sides. The width of the housing is an odd measurement when you are doing inside measurements and have to add the size of the housing.

A great replacement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, when this arrived, I didn't think by the weight of the package it was a tape measure. I was impressed by the comfortable feel and ease of use even with the weight of the tape measure. I used this to measure out metal to make a chute blocker for my zero-turn. Very easy to use with one hand to get the accurate measurements I needed. Once again, I like the double-sided readout. The standout on this is very impressive and doesn't disappoint. I...

A Man's Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a real man's tape. I had to weigh it as it felt much heavier than all my other tape measurers. Came in at 1 lb 11 oz. My wife said she wouldn't be using it (advantage!). Nice features: finger stop for retracting, wide 1-1/8" tape width for 17' extension, easy read numbers on both sides of tape with a dual sided end hook for upside down reading/measuring, very heavy construction with rubberized coating for easier gripping. Every contract...

Irwin 35ft Tape Measure for the DIYer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At 35ft this tape measure works great for measuring my fences and walls. It is especially great for the long measurements because the stand out distance was 135 inches. The lock on it is super smooth and holds the tape tight. The one thing I dislike, it is definitely on the heavier side.

Felt good didnt last

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The construction of the outer casing is very tough and feels good in your hand. After a few uses the tape started to fold at the one foot mark making it useless to use unless you have two people or hook the end on something .

Good Tape Measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the tape measure, it is takes a little getting use to it as I have never used an Irwin tape measure before but I do like it. It is fairly large & heavy being 35' long & I found the lock button slightly awkward but it is getting more comfortable with use. I couldn't get the 17 feet of the tape, but 14 feet was no issue. The retraction control on the bottom is nice feature for both extending & retracting. The tape itself is easy to read & ...

Great pro tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is a big boy tape. I used this tape for a week and was thrilled to use it. It has really easy to read large numbers and graduations. The break is smart because while I am reeling the tape in before it completely enters the case I tighten my grip in the tape naturally with the finger stop it naturally slows down. This really a good tape and good size.

A tape measure that goes the distance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a new tape measure that could stand up to the big name brand tools and this caught my eye. I love this 35 ft tape measure for many reasons. I can go long distances with out it falling or flopping like most other tape measures. It has numbers on both sides of the tape and the numbers and lines are very clear and easy to see. I also like the feature where you can see the numbers underneath so you can always get that little bit e...

I'd buy it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great all around 35' tape. Large easy to read numbers & double marked fractions. It's advertised as having a 17' reach, but I was not able to obtain that consistently. The thumb brake is also I nice feature. Extremely heavy duty which may add to it's heavier than average weight.

High quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doing home renovations I needed a good heavy duty tape measure and this one is the best. It is built to last. It does have some weight to it but that’s expected feeling the durability of it. When measuring the tape is sturdy and stays out when you lock it. With the size of it reading it is very easy which helps since my eyes aren’t the best. Overall it’s a great tape measure.

35 ft tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is well made . It is very heavy also the tape is hard to get a holed of to pull out . It is advertised to be pulled out 17 ft before it brakes over I could only get 8-10 ft before it broke over . Also if you get it wet you better dry it off every time it goes back in or you will have trouble with it .

It goes the extra distance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a big tape measure, weighing in at almost 1.5 pounds. It has a long reach, finger brake, easy to read numbers,and feels really durable. My only two complaints are that its almost too big to easily carry on hands, and also that when the brake is engaged at 30" or less, the tape and catch do not touch the work piece. Considering this is a 35' tape, i guess its not expected to measure 30" or less with brake on.

Excellent recoil and durability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is very durable and has a few special design features including marked numbers on both sides of the tape measure. This has proved very helpful for reading measurements upside down or in tricky spots

Rugged

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very rugged, heavy tape measure. It’s nice to have a 35’ tape for those long distance measurements. My only concern is the belt clip. With the weight of the tool a more robust belt clip would be a needed upgrade.

The Only Tape Measure You'll Ever Need

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Irwin Strait-Line 35 ft. Tape Measure is the best I have ever used and the only one you will need. It has it all, retraction control, a dual-sided hook, 6 feet of tear protection to prevent breakage at the hook, and it will survive an 80 foot drop thanks to it's reinforced housing. What more could you want in a tape measure? Well, how about a 17 foot maximum blade reach, a blade with markings on both sides, and multi layer tear protection. ...

Solid Tape with Convenient Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this tape for a few weeks, here are my thoughts. Overall, it's a sturdy, well-built, featureful unit. I particularly like two features; one is the opening on the bottom, so you can use your finger to slow or stop it from retracting. Good idea, something I find handy. The second feature I like is the scale printed on the tape's top and bottom. Though not something I have used many times, it does make it convenient. The belt clip is s...

Super easy accurate markings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a simple concept, put measuring markings on both sides of the tape. I very seldom use this tape measure in the conventional way anymore as it is so very easy to get super accurate markings on stock having the tape flush with the surface I need to mark.
