How much is it?

Well I had one of these but it broke a month after buying it. As a carpenter I'm learning to adapt, so I bought an Extreme Fatmax chalk box. He took out the leash and replaced it with a braided leash. She works fine.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Can't win! in measuring and marking tools

I really like this tool. Aside from the fact that it makes a very sharp thin line, I like the fact that it doesn't throw chalk out of the string hole all over the piece every time I pull a string. A PLUS. Nobody at work has it, and of course that means you're cooler than everyone else. LAUGH OUT LOUD

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Everything is great

Not bad but not as good as I expected

Used it in a monthly project. Well built but not as good as I expected. The unique design makes it easy to find in a pile of rubbish. Is it worth the extra money? It depends on you! If you find yourself taking good care of it and/or buying the best tool you can afford, it's worth it. You won't find a better chalk box at your local store.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Nothing here

Chalk line 1st class

I've had this chalk line for about a year now. Although I don't use it every day, as a farmer I've done well in a variety of situations. I've had about a dozen boxes of chalk over the years. This one is way better than any other I've seen. It's well built and durable; Nylon line is strong and offers a thin, well-defined line; fast rewind; The hook is useful - unlike any other hook on the market. This is a top notch tool in every way - you won't regret spending a few bucks more.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

Pretty chalk line

I bought this chalk line because my other lines were starting to annoy me. I didn't know you could replace the line from the manufacturer. Instead, I bought this chalk line new. Well I'm glad I did. Decent design. The handle isn't really durable, but the rest of the product is rare. Strange, if you don't buy chalk line, try this company's chalk. Chalk from these guys is good. I am serious. The braided line included in this box of chalk and her signature chalk is hard to beat - really. Greatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • handy
Cons
  • blank

Now it's a chalk box!

If you're tired of those plastic chalk buckets that should be sold in the toy department, you'll love this Tajima chalk box. I have Tajima Ink Rite and love it so when I saw this box of Tajima chalk I had to try it. First of all, it looks very good, feels good in the hand and is designed for very, very fast rewinding. Unlike most chalk boxes that use cheap cotton thread, this box has a very strong nylon thread. Long shots take a little getting used to, but once you get used to it, it's bestโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Great chalk line! good for chalk line

I bought this chalk line because we were doing a big roof renovation project and we needed to tear down every other row to keep everything straight. For the first part of the roof we used cheap aluminum chalk line with cotton thread and we had to change the line from time to time because it wore out. Also, the cable got stuck in the box and was difficult to pull out (it even snapped once). The new Tajima didn't have such problems. It takes some time to get used to the difference in stringsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Expensive

Not Rependable - Measurement and Planning Tools

Let me start by saying that I plan houses to live in. I've used pretty much every type of chalk box out there and am still looking for one that will stand up to the use I've put it in. The biggest problem I've found with all of these is that chalk gets caught between the reel and the body causing it to stick which transfers torque to the handle. Since most handles are made of plastic or steel bonded to plastic, they will break over time (so what's the point of a steel handle?). I was veryโ€ฆ

  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
