Tajima Chalk Line, ChalkRite Jam Free Bold

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.

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.

I grabbed this Tajima chalk line because my husband kept borrowing my old cheap one from the home office closet and tangling it. This one feels sturdy and smooth. I just snap it once and the line comes out bold and clean. Happy I do not have to redo layout lines now.

Lines are crisp and clearly visible from far distance however I find that reel get stuck quite often. Pulling it back and forth a few times works but It happens too frequently

Works awesome

Good product

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.

I'm working at construction for 28 years and I went through a lot of cholk lines . This one is one of the best so far . Next time I will try the more expensive just out of curiosity because now I know it's not waste of money.

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
