a tape measure

It’s more expensive than others.

With big #s made it easy to use for measuring above head putting insulation sheets on ceiling.

25’ Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer the 16 foot tape roller for the 25 foot except when I am working on exterior projects that require longer measurements in that case the 25 foot tape is superior to others. I like the little finger grip underneath to hold the tape and also The end piece seems to have a good grip on things

IRWIN 25" measuring tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The measure is accurate and double-sided, which allows measurement in inconvenient and hard-to-reach places. The disadvantage is that it is a bit heavy, but this is a minor problem. The stiffness of the tape allows you to measure over longer distances. I recommend, as I do most of IRWIN products.

nice tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this tape and it was comfortable in the hand, it has a unique feature where you can slow the return speed. it is clear and easy to read. it is a little heavy but not excessively so. and it is a name I know I can trust

Nice tape!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tape, stays straight when measuring far distances, heavy duty build! It’s a beefy tape! It was such a good tape measure that someone stole it while at a job so must be good. Irwin/Lennox send another?

Best tape measure I’ve had

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Irwin strait-line tape measure to help creat my pallet bed frame and it was easy to read, it had big bold numbers and you can even see the measurements on the reverse side which was nice so if you had to measure something that you can only get the side your able to read it from both sides

Solid well built tape!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very solid well built tape measure. It is easy to read and locks securely into place. It has a long reach for those high and out of the way places. The retraction control is a great feature that I have never had before.

Solid tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape measure is heavy and gives the indication of a rugged tool. I was concerned about the thin hook when using the measure upside down, but because of how the ruler is cupped it was not an issue (see photo). I had expected the rule not to twist but at about 6 feet I encountered some twisting that was a bit annoying. I liked the idea of the finger grip but after using it for awhile, I prefer using it while wearing gloves.

Good tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just used this to layout a 3 car garage. I usually use a magnetic end, but it was a nice change to not have the extra weight while doing longer lighting layouts. It feels solid, and sturdy without being heavy. I like and am used to the finger stop. The numbers on the actual tape are nice and bold, easy to see when darker out. The recoil was nice as any new tape. We'll see about durability as it has only been used for one job so far

I like it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I like the feel of the tape measure. It is heavy, small enough to easily fit my hand and it has a rubberized case which also makes it easy to hold. I expect that the case will also be able to take a lot of abuse, which it will no doubt receive. Also, I like that the tape is easy to read. Some tapes are “too busy” making them difficult to quickly read. The tape was accurate when making inside and outside measurements. I have only on...

Vast improvement over STanley

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to haul an old fore truck and needed measurements. The tape went out to nearly 20 feet before it bent! While measuring for a building site I noticed how east the tape is to read. Having the measurements on both sides of the tape are a neat feature that is really handy.

Outstanding tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Irwin tape measure is an excellent tool for conducting measurements. I have used it on 5 different projects in the last 2 weeks. From measuring tile for a shower installation to measuring for footings on a large garage build. The tape measure has a rubber exterior, which makes for easy gripping and handling while using it. It also has a smooth glide when pulling and retracting the tape. Another nice function is the easy use of the locki...

Irwin 25' tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its a nice fit for your hands. Very tough when you drop it, stands up to damages, its a bit heavier than im used to but its ok because it has a great reach, belt clip is nice and strong, the foot is nicely shaped but not magnetic

25 ft. STRAIT-LINE® Tape Measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 25 ft. STRAIT-LINE® Tape Measure. Liked that it had bigger number. The really the reinforcements on the first 6". The hook seemed to have to much play. Fit nicely in my hand. Was also nice that I did not have to fight with the blet clip

Installing a new sump pump

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to replace a sump pump and piping for my basement wash tub. I used the new 25 foot tape measure and was impressed with its weight and large printed numbers. I also liked being able to measure using the bottom site window. I give this tape measure a five star rating for it’s ease of use and versatility.

Carpenter's Tape Measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has a great feel , very sturdy and solid. The blade of the tape being one inch wide makes this unit much more sturdy that most on the market. The type extends smoothy, feely without hesitation. I would recommend this tape to the tradesman.
