jams; Line break, the line doesn't hold much chalk.

Not the best chalk line. The gearing often jammed, the string broke several times, and over long stretches of 16 feet, the line would not hold the chalk despite holding it in the correct position, causing the chalk to pool around the string as it was unwound.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Empty

The rope snapped well for chalk lines

It made about 6 easy lines then it got progressively more difficult to pull the thread. I couldn't tell if it was the cheap string itself or if the escapement wasn't working properly. I got about 6 more lines and today the string broke. Unfortunately about 10 days past the return window.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Good but not great

Okay but make sure you pick the right one

Ugh. I didn't know there were "permanent" chalk options. It's forever so make sure you choose the right one. To make matters worse, I accidentally ordered two of the wrong ones. Aside from paying the price to learn something, this seems like a pretty good tool. It winds fairly smoothly and accurately, and has a door big enough to fit chalk inside. I guess I'll just buy some fickle chalk to use on the second. Good quality for the price.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Clarity
