If you’re lining out long runs on concrete, timber or block walls, the is one of those simple essentials you’ll be glad you packed — and you’ll notice right away it isn’t a flimsy giveaway you toss in the truck. This tool gives you a full 30 m of chalk line to mark out long straights without the constant reel-and-rewind shuffle, and that matters a lot on big layout jobs where you’re racing against daylight.

Here’s the thing — the included red chalk isn’t some weak dust that barely shows up; it leaves bold lines that you can actually see on dusty block, dark timber and rough surfaces. And that bold colour contrast makes snapping lines quicker and less error-prone, which is huge when you’re under the pump.

Key Features:

• 30 m Line Length - Lets you lay out long, straight chalk lines without reloading halfway through.
• 6:1 Gear Ratio - Faster rewind so you’re not standing there cranking forever between marks.
• Planetary Gear System - Helps cut down on line jams and keeps things moving smoothly.
• Large Fill Opening - Makes topping up chalk a heck of a lot less messy on site.
• Ergonomic Housing - You can grip it solid even when hands are dirty or sweaty.

Applications
