There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Crisp lines, doesn't spill too much excess chalk and practically unbreakable string. We use a heavy bodied permanent red chalk and this works fine without jamming up. In the several thousand uses I have not a single jam or any stripping of the gears. The line hook is top notch and holds tight. The Unit is easy to fill and has a clear housing to monitor remaining chalk level.
Now the negatives.
The locking line stop mechanism is located in an area where it's easy to accidentally flip it into the locked position while handling the unit. The rotating finger grip on the handle broke within a year. It was still usable but a bit more cumbersome and uncomfortable to retrieve.The small line feeder "needle hook" snapped at the end (it has a small T handle) making hard to remove from it's housing.I used this box for 2 years straight until I purchased another identical model. The handle broke in the same place as the first one after about a years use. I now realize that the rotating finger grip on the handle did not break but simply wore out to the point of failure.
I am very pleased to say replacement parts for this model are available at reasonable cost. Even though I've had some problems with this chalk box it easily beats the 10-15 different models I've used in the past hands down. . This includes Irwin , Dewalt, and Stanley and a score of others. I do have to note that DeWalt makes the some of the worst boxes I have ever used. None of these perform or last as long as the Tajima.
I am knocking off a star for the handle issues ( luckily I was able to purchase replacement part) but doubt I'll ever purchase another brand again. I'm sure for the average DIYer thus would last a lifetime. 😉
Only complaint, wish it came with more chalk. Initial supply is minimal.
