TajimaCR301JF 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

good quality !

Nicely thought out & seems like a good sturdy tool.

Excellent tool
