Tajima CR301JF Chalk-Rite Jam Free Chalk Snap Line Box

This is the cheapest of the Tajima chalk lines with a plastic body single speed winder. Despite that the elastomer body looks like it will stand up to the general abuse that site kit is always subjected to. The tool is fairly large compared to my old Stanley cast aluminium chalk line, but that gives it greater chalk capacity - a bonus on larger jobs - and makes it easy to handle in rigger gloves. In comparison to the Stanley models the Tajima has a far higher quality braded line which generates a thin, black line - especially when used in conjunction with Tajima's chalk line dye. Tajima also make three different thicknesses of line as well, should you need extra thin or extra bold lines. The separate locking lever for the winder handle is an excellent idea that should be copied by others and the hook is both generous in size and robust. I'm so impressed that I'm going to buy an aluminium bodied double speed model as well so that I can have a second colour available

Very well designed chalk line. The string is very thin so makes a good thin accurate mark, the line stop mechanism is smooth and holds the line well without being notchy. All in all its a good tool and if I lost it I would buy another just the same.

for only a bit more money this tool is by far the best chalk line i have used. sturdy , well designed and simple to use. highly recommended for any trades tool bag, it gives a clear sharp line without chalk spewing everywhere, has a locking mechanism which prevents it from snagging , great tool

Nicely thought out & seems like a good sturdy tool.

Best chalk line ive used to date. Nice clear line , good build quality

Excellent tool

exselent

good quality !

Wow, this is the single best chaulk line i've ever used. So comfortable in the hand. The line is strong. It's thin but when you snap it, it leaves a really good line. A ton of chaulk doesnt come flying out when extending the line. It Winds fast. Super heavy feeling but that is quality its metal. Also tajima has the best metal hook for the end of the line.

Absolutely love this chalk box and would highly recommend it. It has an extremely durable braided line that makes crisp, clean chalk lines. The box itself is aluminum with a rubber grip/gasket. It is way better quality than anything that I've seen DeWalt or Irwin put out, that's for sure. I have a good feeling that this box will last me years.. I usually have to buy a new Irwin Speed Line every 5-6 months, and that's if I'm lucky that it lasts that long. The one and only thing that I do not like about this box is the hook. It's not the design, it's the material that it is made of. Like the box, the hook is also made of aluminum only a lot thinner, and It's not hard to bend the hook out of place. Fortunately though, you can use any hook you want, just swap it with something more durable, it'll work just the same. All in all, I give this box 9.5/10.

Le meilleur cordeau que j'ai pu utiliser au boulot, et de loin : incroyablement fluide, rapide à rembobiner, sensation de solidité frappante en main, qualité de la corde exceptionnelle (Tajima est vraiment un cran au dessus des autres). Bouton de débrayage, boitier alu, renforts caoutchouc, crochet large et robuste, changement de corde rapide et simple... Tant de bons points qui font la différence. J'ai vraiment trouvé mon cordeau ultime avec ce Dura. À voir la tenue dans le temps, mais j'ai dans l'idée qu'elle sera bonne. Je l'utilise un peu partout mais principalement en couverture, du coup j'en ai acheté un deuxième pour les coupler afin de claquer les lignes : une personne avec un cordex de chaque côté et plus besoin de se déplacer d'un bout à l'autre du toit. Quand la ligne commence à ne plus se voir il suffit de rembobiner et on continue à claquer. Pour le couplage les 2 crochets s'emboitent facilement comme des cuillères (69) et sont sécurisés par un morceau de scotch le temps du traçage... Même finalité qu'un cordeau double sauf qu'ici vous avez 2 cordeaux de très haute qualité avec une corde de 1mm d'épaisseur : c'est plus précis qu'un cordeau double basique, et bien moins fragile. Mais surtout une fois que le traçage est fini il suffit de les désaccoupler pour retrouver 2 bons cordeaux fonctionnels :)

One of the best chalk lines I have bought yet!!! Can't complain about the price either considering it's well made!

Compared to the Milwaukee 1.5 mm bold this is noticeably thicker and in my opinion holds more chalk. The beast feature is reeling in the line and not getting stuck compared to the Milwaukee. Great product
