Won’t use often but when you need it you need it
Took me a long time to have a review for this because it’s a monster so it’s something you don’t use everyday but when you need to chalk a long time smaller tool belt lines tend to fade out and this thing doesn’t but it does make a heavy line so be careful. Never tangled because of the size of the line never had a problem in wet environments either when you do need this thing it’s great to have !

Just got this this chalk line to replace an old Keson I had. This Dewalt line is a major improvement over my previous one. The large mouth opening for chalk makes fills clean. My favorite feature is the 2:1 gearing the lines comes in so quick. I will upload pictures from upcoming job soon as I can.

We used our chalk reel to mark out flooring in a large open concept living room & kitchen. The real was really easy to use, and allowed us to work quickly.

Solid chaulk box that leaves a long straight fat line for framing layout, concrete slab cutting, you name it. I have the 100 foot tape measure also and the two together get layouts done fast and accurate. The box takes alot of chaulk so I now know why they sell the large gallon jugs!!!!! 100' of line does take a lot of force to pull taught but I like that I can get a long straight line without connecting two or three little lines from my smaller chalk box.

I have only been using this line for a few days so far. It has been useful for large scale form layout and produces a very visible and thick like. I like the overall construction, size and weight but I have concerns about the long term durability of the gears. I have had issues with gears in previously purchased dewalt chalk lines and this one has a similar feel when reeling. Only time will tell if this is still the case with this reel.

The large capacity chalk reel is very well designed. They have done some improvements from there older version. It features a nice gear ratio so it quickly reels in the line from long snaps. It gives a nice solid line. The handle fits comfortably in you Hand and is very easy to use. Some of the things I like is the 2:1 gearing Molded handle grip, and easy fill spot with hook holder.

Dewalt chalk reel is a must have when cutting long lenghts of plywood, laying floor tiles and when preparing to set blocks. The 2:1 ratio makes it nice when returning string to its container. It`s solid build means it will last for years to come followed by a lifetime warranty you just can`t go wrong. My jobs have to have the best when building or constructing. My customers want the best, so i must have the best tools possible.
