🔨 Stanley 47-480L FatMax Xtreme Chalk Box: Ultimate Marking Precision and Durability Review

So you have to take it apart and pull out the thread so it doesn't fray, cut it, retie the hook and everything else, a very messy process. And then it goes on, because the more the loop wears out, the quicker the chalk line…

I am a professional repair carpenter. I just bought two. I was able to use the first box of chalk maybe 25 times in total (over the course of 2 months) before it ended up in the bin. The transmission was difficult to engage from the start. Having never used a Fat Max chalk roller before purchasing this roller, I figured it was just the price you paid for better spinning speed.
