Strait Line FAQs

Is Strait Line suitable for professional use?

Yes, Strait Line is highly regarded among professionals for producing reliable, durable marking tools. As part of the Irwin Tools family, these products are built to withstand the demands of daily professional use and offer excellent value for money with professional-grade performance.

What's the difference between temporary and permanent chalk?

Temporary chalk washes away easily with water or weather exposure, making it ideal for layout lines on finished surfaces. Permanent chalk formulations resist weathering and remain visible for extended periods, which is useful when marking timber for cutting or when layout lines need to stay visible throughout long projects.

Can I use any chalk in a Strait Line chalk reel?

Whilst Strait Line chalk reels work with most quality chalk powders, using Strait Line's own chalk refills ensures optimal performance. Their formulations are specifically designed to flow smoothly through the reel mechanism and provide consistent, visible lines without clogging or clumping.
