TAJIMA Chalk Line - Chalk-Rite Jam Free Special Edition Chalk Line with Extra Bold 1mm Snap Line & Five Gear Quick Retrieval - CR301JF-CP

One of the best chalk lines I have ever used. The reel works really well and chalk stays on the line and leaves a distinct line.

This is the one to purchase! Worth every penny. Smooth operation , perfect weight, nice line. Very durable, great grip, and no leakage. I tried a lower cost one and it was horrible that I needed to return. This one is a keeper for life.

I have been working in construction for years and this is the only chalk box I recommend and use. The line is thick and braided which snaps a precise and crisp line. It has a large hook on the end of the line making it easy to grab onto lumber and you can even secure that with a nail or a screw for longer distances. It also has a line-lock feature too. My favorite part about this chalk line is that if any part breaks you can buy that specific part from Tajima. This thing is built strong and I don't expect it to break but, if anything did, I really like how the whole thing isn't trashed. I can get the exact part I need from Tajima for less. I prefer to buy from high quality companies like Tajima who think about sustainability and being less wasteful. Also, for those of you who don't know, these chalk boxes ship empty. You need to purchase your chalk separately. Do keep in mind that if you are staining wood or anything like that you want to stay away from colors like red, black, and some blues. White and some lighter blues are less tacky and less permanent. Many people opt to have multiple chalk boxes filled with different colors for their various uses.

Really happy with the Tajima chalk line. Feels solid, works smoothly, and the line comes out nice through the felt. It also comes with a 1.5 oz bottle of chalk, I know I seen some reviews saying it didn’t. Line seems to be quality.

I could never get a normal chalk box to last more then a few months without jamming up or breaking. After some research i stumbled on this beast of a chalk box. 2+ years later and ita still going strong. Tajima is an awesome japanese engineered and made tool manufacturer. They make great quality tools. This is the only chalk box I'll ever recommend to anyone ever again. The only downside is that they strong recommend using thier "snapline dye". Im sure normal chalk would work in it but all i have every used is their stuff. It seems move fine then normal chalk and the visibility is much better anyhow. Its fairly inexpensive compared to standard chalk from the box stores, you just have to order it online is all.

Best chalk line I’ve ever had! I’ve used em all: Irwin’s, Dewalts, Lufkin’s, Stanley’s, etc. This chalk box has outlasted everyone I’ve ever had and the line holds the chalk forever. I barely ever have to fill it up. I also like the lock feature on it. It’s just an overall great chalk box and I use it just about every day framing houses.

Excellent chalk line. The TAJIMA Chalk-Rite feels very well built, reels in smoothly, and makes a clean, sharp line every time. I use tools regularly for handyman work, and I can definitely tell the difference between a cheap chalk line and a quality one. It’s easy to use, doesn’t jam, and feels like it will hold up to regular jobsite use. Definitely worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone in the trades or doing home projects.

Great chalk box. It works better than any other brand I've used

Recommend snaps sharp lines and the powder that's included with it really good.

Good quality

Me gusto mucho el material y lo resistente que es Muy suave y no se atora la cuerda

Best Chalk line on the market in my opinion. No jams a locking mechanism that works and the hook clips out of harms way to prevent mishaps in your belt. Highly recommended.

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
