Strait Line Chalk Lines & Refills Features and Benefits

• Snap-line marking: The tensioned line is snapped against the surface to leave a crisp, straight mark. This makes it quick to set out long runs without a straightedge.
• Enclosed chalk case: The line is coated with chalk as it is drawn out, so the mark is consistent and the chalk stays contained in the tool when not in use.
• Wind-in line: The line retracts into the case after use, which keeps it tidy and ready for the next job. It also helps prevent tangles in a tool bag or pouch.
• Refillable design: Topping up with refill chalk keeps a good chalk line in service for longer, which saves time and waste.
• Marking colours: Different chalk colours let you choose the best contrast for the surface, whether that is timber, concrete, plasterboard or dark substrates.

Chalk Lines

Strait Line chalk lines are suited to carpenters, joiners, builders, roofers, bricklayers, tilers and landscapers who regularly mark out long lines. They are a handy addition to any tool bag for first fix framing, setting out floors and keeping courses true.

Chalk Refills

Strait Line chalk refills are for topping up your chalk line when the marks start to fade. Keeping a spare bottle in the van or workshop avoids downtime part way through a job.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between chalk colours?

Pick a colour that contrasts clearly with the surface you are marking. Lighter chalk usually shows better on dark or rough surfaces, while stronger colours stand out on pale materials. Bear in mind that some chalk can be harder to remove from porous surfaces, so consider where the line will be seen.

How do I get a clean, accurate chalk line?

Pull the line out fully and hold it taut between two points. Lift it from the centre and let it snap back onto the surface. Make sure the line is well coated with chalk, and avoid snapping in strong wind, which can bow the line and distort the mark.
