It is what it is. in marking tools

The chalk box is well made. The chalk storage tank was only half full. I know how profiteering works, but come on, don't call me a junkie.

Pros
  • Metal drive gear Resists gear breakage under high loads
Cons
  • Available in black only

Didn't work - Marker Tools

I I hate giving bad reviews but in this case it is necessary. Tried to use but couldn't get it to work. The line didn't leave enough chalk on what we were trying to mark. I ended up using spray paint for the markings.

Pros
  • Easy Fill & Lock Top - Large top with 1/4 turn cap for quick pouring of chalk and easy access to inside of roll - Easy Fill & Lock Top
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

The gears in the reel no longer work

Chalk gets on the gears of the reel mechanism and sticks everything so much that the reel does not work. Poor design, breakage and cleaning shouldn't be necessary with a simple chalk box. Irwin chalk boxes aren't what they used to be.

Pros
  • Open back wall Allows for quick line changes and cleaning
Cons
  • Outside
