Product Information
Full details
This Imex 100m Green Stringline is designed for masons and contractors needing a durable, highly visible line for staking out sites, landscaping, and bricklaying. Its key benefit is superior durability and resistance to environmental factors, ensuring a straight, reliable reference line. A potential caveat is that for highly precise surveying, modern laser equipment may be preferred. The stringline features an 8-strand braided nylon construction, bonded for enhanced strength and resistance to moisture, dryness, mildew, abrasion, and alkali. Its hi-vis fluorescent green color ensures easy visibility on site and in toolboxes, and it comes conveniently spooled on a plastic reel for easy use and storage.

FAQs
What is the primary use for this Imex Stringline?
It is primarily used by masons and contractors to create a straight line for tasks like staking out sites for concreting, landscaping, and laying bricks or blocks.
What makes this stringline different from others?
It features an 8-strand braided nylon construction that is bonded for greater durability and is resistant to moisture, dryness, mildew, abrasion, and alkali. It also has a hi-vis fluorescent green color for easy visibility.
Can this stringline be used in wet conditions?
Yes, it is not affected by extreme moisture, dryness, or mildew, making it suitable for various weather and site conditions, including exposure to mortar.
How is the tension maintained?
The stringline has built-in elasticity which helps it maintain tension when properly stretched between two points.
How should I store the stringline?
It comes on a plastic reel for easy use and storage. Store the reel in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its condition and color.
Is this suitable for professional use?
Yes, it is described as professional grade and is the first choice of masons and contractors due to its durability and reliability.
Troubleshooting
Stringline appears to be sagging or not maintaining tension.
Ensure both ends are securely anchored and that the line is pulled taut. Check for any knots or snags along the line. The built-in elasticity is designed to maintain tension, but extreme stretching or damage may affect performance.
Difficulty seeing the line on a very bright or cluttered site.
While the hi-vis green is bright, in extreme conditions, consider using additional markers or ensuring clear sightlines. The line is designed for optimal visibility in standard construction environments.
Stringline is difficult to unspool or gets tangled.
Ensure the reel is held correctly and the line is pulled smoothly. Store the reel carefully to prevent the line from becoming excessively loose and tangling.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly durable due to 8-strand bonded nylon construction.
- Resistant to moisture, dryness, mildew, and chemicals like mortar and oil.
- Excellent visibility with hi-vis fluorescent green color.
- Maintains consistent tension for accurate line setting.
- Conveniently spooled for ease of use and storage.
Cons
- May not be as precise as laser leveling tools for certain advanced surveying tasks.
- Long-term exposure to UV light might affect color vibrancy.
- The elasticity, while beneficial for tension, might introduce slight variations in perfectly rigid applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unspool the stringline from the plastic reel as needed. Securely anchor each end to reference points (e.g., stakes, posts) ensuring tautness. For best results, maintain consistent tension by adjusting anchors or using slight pressure.
Compatibility:
This stringline is compatible with standard stakes, chalk lines, and plumb bobs. It is designed to work effectively with common masonry and construction materials. It is not affected by mortar, oil, or mildew.
Care:
After use, clean off any excess mortar or dirt with a damp cloth. Allow the stringline to dry completely before rewinding it onto the reel to prevent mildew. Store the reel in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects, to prolong its lifespan and maintain its visibility.
