TajimaCR202B-P Chalk Rite II - Contractor Grade Ultra Thin Chalk Line,Blue

This Tajima is very nice, has a lock to prevent it from unreeling and quick fill spout to put chalk in, I like that when you snap the line on any surface it leaves the line and not a mess, however since it is a fine line I wouldn’t use this with something I need to cut as the line is very fine and thin for example I snap a line on plywood that I need to cut my blade is thicker than this line.

I was using cheap Irwin snap lines for 7 years now, and finally got tired of them. With this Tajima I was amazed as soon as I opened the case. You can feel the quality in your hand. Aluminum case will hold up worlds better than plastic. When not using, the fill cap has a nice "latch" that the end hooks onto securely when not using and WILL NOT come off. I can't tell you how many times my Irwin would get pinched under a tool in my toolbag, and when I went to grab it 10' of line would be unwound and chalk on some of my tools. It winds up smoothly and has a line lock so if your arms can span it, you can snap it with your free hand. The fill cap is just a 1/4 turn, and has a nice rubber o-ring to help keep out moisture. The line is a thin braided line and produces a great line every time. No more lines that are 1/8" thick with excess chalk everywhere. I've never thought a chalk line was much of a tool until this Tajima showed me that they actually have "features". Make sure you buy extra Tajima chalk right away, as the bottle that comes with is only 1.4oz. However the small bottle comes in handy as it is much easier to carry around.

I've always had a passionate hate for the chalk lines at Home depot and Lowe's. I knew that if there was nothing better than those chalk lounges this would represent one of man kinds biggest short comings. So i took to amazon and found this. This chalk line saved my faith in humanity, for now. I'll go through 5 if those home depot lines in a year at $10 each. This one cost me $25. The line is really thin and snaps a morw neat and cleaner line, yet it seems more durable than the HD ones. The reel is fast and smooth and the frame is solid. It even has a lock on the reel which really helps you comfortably pull tension on the line before snapping. I could see this line lasting me years. Totally worth it.

I purchased a Bostitch Chalk Box about a month ago and have been fairly aggravated with it... Hard to wind up and dumps way too much chalk... Feels like I'm gonna snap the crank handle right off because its so stiff... I decided to give the Tajima a try after all the great reviews... And I must say, I do agree...Line pulls and retracts as easy as it gets... And I really like the nice clean thin chalk line it produces ... I can't tell yet if it will stand the test of time, but it feels sturdy enough... The line lock is a nice feature... This unit is more than double the cost of your "everyday" chalk boxes... And the line is really thin, so I'm sure its a lot more susceptible to breaking... I think it would be overkill if you need lines on concrete or rough framing... But for more delicate and percise situations (e.g. tile layouts), I think this unit is the way to go.....If it came with a belt clip, It would be perfect (at least for me)...

This is thee best chalkline I have ever had. It’s incredible.

Chalk box has always been one of my favorite tools, a rock and a string that has been around since ancient times and is perfectly accurate all the time. Tajima refines the rock and a string concept into a very fine product. A very rugged aluminum case holds up to the rigors of daily job site use, the gear train rewind retracts the string very quickly and a very well designed and rugged hook works exceptionally well. Couple that with the fine, yet strong string and the very fine chalk (which you must use for this product) you get very fine, yet very visible lines. The Tajima is a great upgrade from the rather unrefined Straitline brand chalk box.

This is the best one that I have ever bought. An that is really saying something because I have been using a chalk box for over 30 years. Great for leaving a fine line just like a number 2 pencil. If this one was to tear up. I would have to order a new one it leaves a perfect line. An caulk does not get all over you.

we mainly do finish carpentry and fat snap lines with chalk splatter do not help with accuracy so i find the combination of the ultra thin line and the tajima chalk to be a great alternitive - it leaves a nice thin line with out all the excess chalk - i would not recommend this combo for some of the more abusive trades IE framers and masons, as the line is thin and you can tell it would not take a lot to break it, so thin that when stretched out on nice flat surface it can be difficult to get a pinch on the line just to snap it.

Se ve muy resistente y está hecho en Japón. Ya pocas herramientas NO son las porquerías chinas que nos obligan a comprar

As a Carpenter in the high rise industry. It’s important to be 100% with the mesurments as well cutting to the 1/8.The ultra thin 0.5mm line is perfect, it’s not dusty and it’s perfect for the crisp lines as well. Plus with the aluminum body it’s perfect for those heavy duty usage.I would advise anyone who is a carpenter or a layout man to pick this chalk line up!Plus this is my second chalk line from this manufacturer.

I was happy to see that this wasn’t a knock off. It works great, as far as durability I can’t comment yet I’ve only had a few months and haven’t used it that much. So far so good.

Esta bien el tira6yo lo usó en mi trabajo que es la tablaroca

Bought as a gift for the BF he was very happy with it.
