Best Masonry String Lines of 2025

"I found it affordable to buy a pack of six instead of one roll at HD or Lowes, which saves me money!"

"Using this line has been great for outlining planting bed edges in our public farm area."

"The line is easy to see and tough, perfect for marking parking lot stalls."

"I appreciate the bonded black and orange line, though I wish it was still made in the USA."

"While building a long 300'+ fence, I was able to pull the line very tight, but a laser is really recommended for those lengths."

"I needed something bright and easy to see, and this string did the job great. It's much better than other string I've used and offers good value for the price with a lot of length."

"I was really excited to find this braided string! The quality is excellent compared to twisted string, which always unravels. As someone who has used good braided string for years, I'm surprised that younger folks might not even know it exists."

"This string is perfect for my network cables. It's bright, strong, and does exactly what I need it to do. I couldn't be happier!"

"I really used this string to connect with Costa Rica, Belize, and Trinidad & Tobago. I hung it in a tree to lift about 33 feet of 24-AWG wire. It served as a portable antenna for ham radio on 40 meters up to about 12 meters with an affordable MFJ tuner. It's just string, but it's orange and fluoresces under UV light. I didn't face the issues mentioned in the negative reviews, and finding the end of the line was straightforward, even when I needed 70 feet on my first try. I had no concerns about its tensile strength; it held up well under light use. I would suggest it for pulling a straight line for fencing or similar tasks. If it breaks, you're likely using it incorrectly. One thing to note is that the spool is just a cardboard tube without supports, so for repeated use, transferring it to a proper spool is a good idea to avoid tangling."

"I found this string to be a great value and very durable. The bright color enhances visibility, which is a plus for my projects."

"To be honest, I was a bit disappointed that it doesn't smell like oranges. It can create unsolvable knot puzzles if not wound back up properly. I’ve always thought it was odd how string is wound up in a way that's efficient for machines but impossible for humans to rewind back to its original form. String has been around for ages, yet it still comes like this. Strange!"

"This item performs as expected and is easy to use. I love the high visibility color, and the string is durable enough for various projects."

"While it’s not professional grade, it’s perfect for us careful homeowners. I found the shipping to be delayed, but I'm using it to measure property lines and it does the job."

"I was installing a new fence, and this line has been great for laying everything out. I can just hold the handle and walk; the line is strong and held up well when I pulled it tight!"

"I found this string to be very durable and easy to see while using it."

"For marking our property lines, I was impressed by its brightness. It really stood out in the woods, and with 1100 feet, we'll never use it all. It's super sturdy and a great purchase—definitely cheaper than Walmart."

"I used it to long line a barbed wire fence installation, and it worked perfectly for my needs."

“In my experience, this is the best line for Masons. The plastic center is a game-changer since it won't get ruined if it gets wet.”

“I ordered this line to align my fence and it turned out to be perfect for my needs.”

“I was in a hurry and decided to try this brand. If you can wait, I suggest going for the W. Rose brand as it has less stretch and feels more solid.”

"I find this string to be a cost-effective alternative; it's nearly three times cheaper than what I see at big box stores."

"While it seems great for masonry tasks, it’s not meant for flying kites."

"This line is so much better than twisted line, and it's only a little more expensive."

"I've always struggled with hand twist knots for finishing, but this line has a coating that works like a charm. I've used it three times, and the knots were strong and easily removed."

"As a bricklayer, I can confidently say this is the best string you can buy. It's strong and has just the right amount of stretch."

"I wish I had checked the reviews before buying. I'm not let down by the quality of the string or handle; it's the misleading image showing multiple reels that bothers me."

"The picture shows three reels, but I received just one reel and two refills. False advertising is frustrating!"

"While it’s still a decent deal, I'm disappointed because I needed reels more than string. Please update your pictures for clarity!"

"I really enjoy this line; it's easy to see and use. It feels strong and durable."

"I found the length perfect for my gardening tasks. The nylon material is durable and withstands the elements well. The reloadable line reel is an excellent feature, although it can be a bit stiff at times in tight spaces. Overall, it's a reliable choice for my gardening projects."

"This braided string is very strong and highly visible. I've used it to mark off a future driveway and plan to use it for my property line. I'm confident it will hold up very well."
