Good quality chalk box
Excellent chalk box. the string is .5mm thick so it leaves a much sharper line than my regular one. Even with the string being so thin I am able to pull it taut and snap perfect lines. I can imagine it would break if pulled excessively, so a more gentle touch is warranted. Fast retrieve and there is a small lever that locks the wheel when storing it in my pouch. Powder refills easily thanks to bayonet-type screw top the same as my Milwaukee chalk box. Good quality and feels solidly built. I have x-large hands and this fits perfectly. Highly recommended

Chalk box
I work construction, I consistently use the red and blue chalk line for different applications. Red is for more permanent lines, the blue for marks that need to be cleaned away. The Tajima has a very nice centering on the dummy end that makes it easy to snap true lines on your own. The chalk box has a smooth bull and offers consistent lines over and over again. I recommend the .05mm line thickness for standard construction applications. The tajima pulls nicely and snaps well. It’s easily handled with gloves on or off, has yet to bind on me. I build in Vermont and we build timber frame so it sees a lot of wear and tear and keeps ticking, even after falling off roofs, into nature, etc. overall a great chalk line and I’d recommend them over any other brand

Worth the $$$
Expensive but one of the best. Snaps a very thin and precise line. Only reason I take 1 star off is the size. This is 30% bulkier then it needs to be.

Fine line is great
Nothing compares to applying the fine lines with this chalk box. This is not for people who do not know how to use tools, this fine line will break with heavy handed use. Precision tools require precision use

It’s great, and it works awesome… also it’s kinda purple
This is hands down the best chalk line I’ve ever owned. Holds a buncha chalk, nice line, reels fast…. All great. The one I got leans a little more purple than blue though. Not to say purple is bad, I always know it’s mine, it’s just not necessarily the blue i was excepting. I kinda like it, even if it doesn’t match the rest of my tools, but hey purple is good too. I’d go as far to say the color is growing on me, definately would buy another.

This is the best chalk box on the planet
I have owned many chalk lines. This one is by far the best. I've dropped it off scaffolding, worked in the rain, used it in the dirt and have even dropped it in saltwater while working and it has performed far beyond my expectations. Always a concise, crisp line. I also have the heavier line weight version. Accuracy counts

Best chalkline EVER
This is my second one of these. They are fantastic!!! Clean visible lines. The line doesnt break easily. The larger clip allows angle lines and the lock stays locked unlike other high end name brands

I have a siding installation business and won't cheap out on tools. I am disappointed how the build quality of these chalk lines has lessened and a 3 month limited warranty is useless. The gears don't spin well and the line breaks because of it. I am lucky if I can get 3 months before the unit craps out. I have blown through 2 of these in the past 4 months. They used to be excellent for daily use but not anymore.
