[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am currently building my woodworking shop. I have used the tape to measure my gable end bracing as well as cutting my ridge blocking between the trusses. I started using it as soon as I received it.

Does your tape measure, measure?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Irwin 25 ft.Straight-Line Tape Measure. Looks as if it was built for the ups and downs of the job. The tumbles and drops that often happen. The housing looks as if it was padded in a hard rubber. It isn't much heavier than other tape measures but the look is different. One thing I like because if I had a nickel for all the times someone has picked up my tape mistaking it for theirs. Not with this one, at least for now. The tape itself I not...

Pleasantly surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When this first arrived, I wasn't expecting it to be that well put together. Not only does it have some heft to it, I believe it will be very durable and long lasting. I like the easy-to-read numbers since I don't have to eyesight of a 20 year-old anymore. I had to do some measuring for some replacement flooring and this tape measure made it a breeze to get accurate measurements by myself. The readout window on the bottom is also a nice touch. ...

Wizzard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the double sided tape. Quality feel on all the materials. I used this tape measure for my deck rebuild project. I like the way the tape moves in and out. I would like to say this is the nicest tape measure i have ever used. I look forward to measuring all my home projects with this beauty.

A nice, stout tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My initial impression was that it felt solid and sturdy. Too often I've had tape measures wear out from use. I anticipate this one will last me a while. The tip is riveted three times for strength. We all know that a tape measure with a loose tip is useless so that's good. The numbers are easy to read for my eyes. All in all are great piece of equipment.

Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this tape measure for outside projects, such as building. I like the easy to read, large numbers. The tape measure case is very comfortable in the hand and the finger brake works very well, I use it very often.

tape measurer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is a great tape measurer to have when you do not need a longer tape measure that is to have as a back up to a bigger one. also it is a great starter tape measure for a new person starting out in the field of construction.

Very Handy Tape Measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this 25 ft Strait-line tape measure.The wide tape is very easy to read.It also hooks onto your work and stays put until you get the accurate measurement. Nice and strongly constructed of good materials. I would recommend this tape for pros and amateurs alike!!

Well done tape that is feature rich and ergonomic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape definitely hits all the boxes for my tape measure requirements. Wide blade with long standout, measurements on both sides of the blade, and a button that holds well but isn’t too stiff or soft. And the finger groove through the case to control the tape is important to me. The soft touch of the case is a nice touch too. One thing that I am not a fan of is the belt clip. I have found these style of clips to be flimsy and weak compared t...

It's NOT just a different color tape measure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed was the 17 foot stand-out claim and I immediately had doubts. Everyone makes these claims and they never pan out. And 17 feet was far beyond any claim I had seen before. So I had to put it to the test before anything else. Irwin lived up to the claim. And this was not just a limp, sagging, just hanging on stand-out I have come to know from past measures. There was very little arc in the tape and it held. The end hook w...

Awesome Tape Measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am adding a 26 x 18 addition onto my Lake cabin. This tape has been invaluable! I especially love that measurements are on both sides of the tape. This is super helpful when it is extended long distances up against the wall.

25' Tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 25' Straight Line Tape measure. Good weight, feels good in the hand. No Issues that I can see. Nice big numbers, nice that they are on the bottom as well. Hook seems to be tight and not wobbly. I have few Irwin Tape measures all have performed as they should

My father's new favorite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape measure is superior with reach. Extends to roughly 12 ft. It's awesome they added a "finger stop" at the bottom which adds to the speed of the tape and this is my new favorite as well as my dad's.

One Handed 10ft Reach

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a tape measure and measures things accurately. It has a really good reach before breaking, so far 10ft without support, and grips lumber well. I've mainly used it to measure out rooms for flooring estimates so the long reach helps. The tape has large clearly visible markings down to the 16th on both sides with a sight window in the body. The belt clip is firm and holds on tight.

Tough Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the 25 ft STRAIT-LINE tape and have worked with it. It is a very durable tape, the measuring tape itself is very durable tape and is easy to read with the large numbering. I actually extended the tape out 14 ft with no buckling. I checked to make sure the tape was accurate from start to 10 ft, it checked out right on the money. The only concern I have is the finger stop on this unit. I like it but I feel I will have to keep a che...

Stand out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Tape measure. Especially the finger stop and the coated blade. Great addition for any tradesman or DIY’er. Has great stand out also. The blade is thicker than most tape measures which makes it great for everyday wear and tear.

A great tape with some great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape measure has some great features. Pros: • It has a rubberized case for shock in case of being dropped. • The tape itself is wide and is easy to read from either side. • To avoid breaking at the end, the tape is reinforced with and extra layer of plastic • The tape hook is double sided so you can grab from either side. Con: • The tape is so well made and has great protection giving it a heavier weight than other 25’ tapes. Overall, it i...

Awesome tapes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using my Irwin Stait-line tape measure makes measurements super accurate and less hassling. I was measuring spacing inside a commercial space for a new HVAC installation. Working sole and taking measurements on a 15 ft ladder was very easy with Irwin strait-line measuring tape.

Handy Handles

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this tape to do plumbing layouts and take offs and it handles like a dream . The finger stop has to be the most comfortable that I have ever used. She doesn’t hold on to sand and debris like some of the others.

Best tape measure that I have ever seen!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the new 25ft straight line tape measure, I really love it. The large numbers make it easy for an old man to read without putting on my glasses. I also like the numbers on both sides of the tape, this is a great idea. This tape quickly became my Go-To tape in my most used tool box. The way it is built looks like it might outlast me. This is the kind of quality product that I have come to expect from your company,
