Tools and Hardware Reviews of Tajima CR202B-P Chalk-Rite II Ultra Thin Chalk Box
Customer Review: what all chalk lines Should Be Like
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had a few different chalk lines, with varying degrees of success. The Stanley met the business end of a framing hammer after one jam too many. The Irwin experienced a hail mary pass from the roof deck (the street below, incidentally, received that pass expertly.) The tajima, however, has been in use for six months and has yet to frustrate.
The first glance shows it to be a very well engineered product. The gearing is solid and fast. The lock not only works, but works well - a welcome change from the others - and you'll find yourself actually using it. The reel is designed to be pressed, nose down, against the work surface. This method, when compared to pulling the line past the edge of a sheet, makes a more accurate mark and is less likely to wear on the line.
The mark itself is excellent. The 1mm line produces a bright line the size of a pencil scribe, and I am happy to have the accuracy. The quality and crispness of the snap is rewarding, every time I use it. The line does wear, especially just after the hook, but what line doesn't? I'd rather cut off 6" off every few weeks than buy a new reel with every chalk refill.
Tajima's chalk works wonderfully, as well. It really helps to have finer chalk with such a thin like. I've started using the Irwin chalk, with no difficulties as long as i don't overfill. My personal favorite is a blend of fluorescent green and standard blue that demands the eye's attention in any light on any material. If you do use standard chalk instead of the extra fine chalk, don't expect to get many snaps before you have reel up. I don't agree with the other reviewers' comments that this chalk line isn't suitable for framing, although the line it leaves is perhaps too light against asphalt shingles on a wavy roof deck. I don't experience the same problem when shingling a newly framed roof.
