Customer Review: Good -- but a clutch holder might be better?
Summary: 4 Stars
Works pretty well!
The chalk holders are sturdy, and hold even really small nubs of chalk tightly in place. Although it's obviously easier (and faster) to simply grab whatever piece of chalk is resting at the board, I find that whatever I write using the chalk holder usually ends up being more legible -- which is, of course, the point.
The four-star rating is due to the twist-grip of the chalk holder itself. I prefer the clutch holders since it's easier to fully retract the chalk (and not get it all over you, your clothes, your bookbag, etc.), but with this one, I find that I never fully retract the chalk since it's inconvenient to do so.
Customer Review: Perfect Gift For Favorite Teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing I hate about using chalk is the residue on my hands, especially when you use colored chalk to emphathize certain items. I went for this item because the plastic holders my school provides break if you look at them wrong. These holders are absolutely outstanding!!! No residue, easy to use. Durable. I have no worrys about using them. To top it off, it gives me an added professional appearance to my daily presentations. I highly recommend you buy this. Better yet, if you are looking to get something for that favorite teacher, this is a great low-cost item that I am sure most teachers don't even think about getting for themselves. Buy it!!!!Customer Review: sturdy, but chalk breaks easily and hard to reload
Summary: 3 Stars
If the chalk breaks, which happens easily against the metal edges, especially in the hands of enthusiastic junior high students doing board races, you have to unscrew the top and use the edge of a paperclip, or other sharp, thin object, to push the chalk up so that it can be used again. This tool is much sturdier than the plastic variety, but doesn't have the button on bottom that you can push for easy chalk release and refill.Customer Review: very durable except . . .
Summary: 3 Stars
This product is all metal and very durable. The end must be unscrewed and screwed back down every time you need to extend the chalk. This can be somewhat annoying when you are trying to lecture as it slows up your pace when writing notes on the board. Now I use them for my colored chalk, which I use less frequently, and went back to my spring-activated chalk holder for white chalk.Customer Review: Great Product

I bought this product for my husband. He told me he loves it and would recommend it to other teachers.
