Description

CE Tools introduces the new standard in chalk lines with the SnapBack releasable tip. NEVER cross a workspace again to retrieve a chalk line tip. Chalk lines are an indispensable tool for builders everywhere. The SnapBack is the most significant advance in modern chalk line history and is revolutionizing this industry. The SnapBack Chalk Line has many features that improve the daily hassles of using a traditional chalkline. Manufactured with superior materials, it is durable and tough. No one wants to walk back to retrieve a chalk line tip after snapping their line. Now they don't have to! Sleek, Rugged Design. Fits in your hand perfectly whether you're right handed or left. Premium rubber grips for comfort. Contractor Engineered for peak job site performance. Finally, a great chalk line! Designed by a third generation contractor tired of the traditional chalk lines that just are not user friendly! We have taken the aggravation of using a traditional chalk line and designed the SnapBack with improved features, making the SnapBack Chalk Line a pleasure to use. Features: It's so simple we've even had a 7 year old do it their first try. The red knuckle covers the teeth on the way back so the tip doesn't catch while reeling in the line. This can cut your steps in half! The chalk fill door has 2 tabs that must be pinched to open the door. This reduces the accidental openings that other chalk line doors have. No more mess in your tool box or tool bag! Professionally designed by a contractor and engineer. The process took 7 years to make this the absolute best tool in its class.

  • This is the chalk line above all others trust me

I'm a millwright and this is hands down the best chock like and chock The benefits to this chalk line are it reels in extremely fast it has a pocket clip which is huge it has a snake teeth that kind of bite you when you use it but besides that it has a really thin string which is super important when you're doing layout on a huge factory One of my foreman told me about it I take it on every job it's also a little bit bigger than your average one and has some nice grip texture ... show more

This chalk line works perfectly. It’s accurate, easy to use, and makes marking straight lines quick and effortless. The quality is solid, and it holds up well even with frequent use.

  • Good chalk line, but not for everyone
Number of Items: 1
Bought this for a friend who does a lot of shingle work after having one of my own for a while. I'm more of a jack of all trades guy and I love mine, but he was stuck in his ways after doing his routine for 25 years and just couldn't get used to it. I do a lot of solo work so being able to get my line back without walking back to the end saves me miles and miles of travel over the course of a day or week. Tip doesn't fit everywhere you can jam a traditional chalk line tip in a pinch, but you gotta trade off something. Upgraded the string to a nice braided job, and I'm pleased. I haven't thrown out my Tajima, it's still the right tool for some jobs, but I'm not begrudging either the space in my tool bags. ... show more

  • Best Chalk Line Ever
Number of Items: 1
I just got this new chalk line, and it's great so far! The chalk reel seems very rugged and well made. The string is very good quality. I like the rubber grip. I also like that the string isn't in the way when you're filling it up with chalk. The chalk reel is as good or better than any other I ever used in every way I can think of, but the star of this show is definitely the releasable tip. It saves so much time. Once you've used this tip, you won't ever want to use a standard tip again! ... show more

  • Not worth it
Number of Items: 1
I used this chalk line for about a week before it broke. The line is weak and snaps if you pull on it hard to get the sag out when siding. It also locked up on me with about 10’ of line ran out. It’s decent for light use, but if you plan to use it everyday it’s junk. The $10 dewalt chalk lines are better. ... show more

  • Snap back hook is terrible.
Number of Items: 1
The hook part isn't tapered/curved/pointed enough to catch on a thin edge, ie metal roofing panels. Even on luber it wasn't great, 1 out of 4 attemps would result in successful snapong the line. The snap back feature is a gimmick too. Mine is so stiff when/if you do manage to get the hook set it just sticks up and never makes it back down to "snap" the hook free. (Mind you I was only able to get the hook to stay a few times without a helper) really wanted to like it, but it's just too much of a pain for its cost. Really like the bright green chalk thay came with it though. ... show more

Number of Items: 1
I use this for drywall board and first thing i would like to see is a shorter claw with the same design so i can get accurate corner cuts lined up. having the claw sitting out about a half inch from where it grabs really only makes it good for straight line snaps. i love it but im gonna have to take off the claw and put a shorter one on it. everything else about the design i love. the cord in it is silky to run on your fingers and elastic for stretching tight. ... show more

  • New chalk line, check it iut
Number of Items: 1
This chalk line is ridiculous! Best chalkline I’ve ever handled. I was really surprised when I opened it out of the package. Its really light weight and looks really cool too. Feels good in my hand. Nice size. I hated putting the chalk to it because it looked so good I didn’t want to mess it up, but I bought it to use. I like the way you fill up the chalk. Snapped my first couple lines and reeled it in. Unreal! super cool releasable tip. Smooth gears. Great string. I’m a new customer for life. ... show more
