Buying Guide: Mason's Line and Reels

Mason's Line and Reels
The Stringliner reels can be rewound with a hand crank or with a power screwdriver inserted into the slot in the bottom of the handle. The Pro models have a patented handle that lets you change spools easily, and they can be reloaded without difficulty. Reels are available in twisted and braided line.

Refills and Replacement Line
Refill spools of nylon line are sold for reloading mason's line reels and chalk line reels. Bonded refills have an added coating that makes the line stiffer, more resistant to wear, UV and water, and less likely to fray when cut. Colors include pink, orange, and black and orange mixes.

Barricade Tape and Bench Tape
TapeWiz barricade tape dispensers have a durable plastic handle and a notch that secures the loose tape end, and they reload easily. Adhesive steel bench tape can be cut to length and mounted on a clean, dry flat surface, with bold print numbers and markings that are easy to read in workshop and manufacturing settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does US Tape make?
US Tape offers mason's line reels and refills in twisted and braided nylon, chalk line reels and refills, TapeWiz barricade tape dispensers, and adhesive steel bench tape. Bright solid and mixed colors are available for the line products.

How do I choose the right line or reel?
Match the core size on your old spool, since some line refills are wound on a 1 in. diameter core. Check the line length you need, and choose bonded line if you want a coating for extra wear and water resistance.

How do I prepare a surface for bench tape?
The adhesive steel bench tape is 1/2 in. wide and comes in a 12 ft. length that you can cut to fit your work surface. Make sure the surface is clean and dry so the adhesive backing sticks properly.
