As a carpenter, I appreciate it when a company does something that improves my day. This time, it was Tajima. I’ve been a fan of its chalk lines for a few decades. They are durable and reliable, and the new Chalk-Rite Compact is everything I would expect. It has the same rugged, jobsite-ready construction Tajima is known for: compact, heavy-duty aluminum case, collapsible metal handle, wear-resistant metal tip on the cap, and smooth-running five-gear winding mechanism. Plus, all those features now fit in a smaller package.
The Tajima Chalk-Rite is compatible with the company’s clip-n-hold system for secure storage and convenience.
Tajima trimmed the fat without sacrificing performance. The new tool’s slim body easily fits in small bags or pouches and clips to a belt, making it an exceptional line for anyone who does renovations or remodeling. How often do you need more than 50 feet of chalk line on a bathroom or kitchen renovation? With its smaller footprint and lighter weight, the Chalk-Rite Compact (CR701SFR) has secured a spot in my toolbox. It costs $50 at tajimatool.com.
