Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 6:1 gear ratio help?

The 6:1 gear ratio means the string winds back six times faster than you crank the handle. That cuts down the time spent reeling the line in between marks, which adds up on a site where you are snapping dozens of lines in a day.

Why is an 8 strand string better?

More strands make the string thicker and stronger, so it wears longer and holds the chalk better when you snap a line. A heavy duty reel needs a heavy duty string, and the 8 strand construction is what keeps this reel working on demanding job sites.

What is the line length?

The reel carries a 100 foot line, which is 30 metres. That covers the long runs used for marking out roofing, flooring, fencing and concreting work, and the 6:1 rewind brings it back quickly when the mark is done.

How do I snap a chalk line?

Fill the reel with chalk, hook the end of the string at one end of the line, and walk the reel out to the other end keeping the string taut. Hold the string down, lift it a short way from the surface and let it snap back to leave a straight chalk line. Reel the string back in with the 6:1 rewind ready for the next mark.
