What Customers Are Saying

The tool features a sturdy aluminum construction, smooth reeling mechanism, and easy-to-use chalk filling system. The large hook provides a secure grip, and the 6:1 gear ratio allows for quick rewinding. Some users find the lock mechanism a bit stiff and difficult to operate with one hand. A common complaint is the lack of pre-filled chalk, requiring an additional purchase. Overall, the tool provides a clean, accurate chalk line, though the missing chalk may be an inconvenience.

A little heavy

Would Recommend

The line in this model is not as heavy as some other one hundred foot chalk lines. It is also a little heavy but it works pretty well. I recommend opening it up and cleaning the grease off of the plastic crank parts as it will get gummed up with chalk pretty quickly.

Decent chalk box, not my favorte.

Would Not Recommend

Bought this out of necessity, needed a chalk box for temporary chalk. Just what they had on the shelf, that stuck out as a decent chalk box. The good. Its mostly metal constructed. I like the claw sucks into the body and doesnt flop around, or need an extra step to store it. Gearing is great for quickly spooling the line. The meh. Cost is a bit high compared to other high end metal chalk boxes. The claw works, but you cant easily get it to catch a nail head, ended up having to tweak it a bit,...

Would not buy again

Would Not Recommend

The back of this chalk line does not actually seal and will dump chalk out as you unwind it. Very messy and can leave massive chalk stains. This string also did not take chalk well and took many attempts to get the whole line chalked up.

Beta one I’ve had

Would Recommend

First thing, metal beats plastic don’t kid yourself otherwise. The collapsible crank handle is actually a pretty nice touch considering you toss this around or shove into a tool bag. And that gear ratio to pull in the string is crazy I make my boss turn his head when I real this thing in. I personally love the top half that quarter-turns the reel head off and gives me wayyy more room to refill the chalk. Yes there’s a smaller hole at the bottom but you need the same brand long nose chalk bottle ...
