Lufkin 100' Contractor Chalk Reel - CLO100

This chalk reel is designed for use with standard powdered chalk refills. For best results and minimal overspray, use high-quality chalk specifically formulated for chalk reels.

Open the chalk box and empty any remaining chalk. Use a dry brush or cloth to remove residual chalk. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring the box is completely dry before refilling.

The 6:1 gear ratio means that for every one turn of the crank, the line retracts six times faster than a standard chalk reel, significantly speeding up the process of marking lines.

The end hook is designed to retract into a protected, nested position when not in use. Ensure the hook is fully retracted after use to prevent it from snagging on materials or getting damaged.

While the reinforced string provides good chalk retention, extremely windy conditions can still affect line accuracy and chalk application. For best results, use on calmer days or use wind clips to secure the line.

The Lufkin 100' Contractor Chalk Reel weighs approximately 0.44 pounds.

Check for kinks or knots in the line. Ensure the chalk box is not overfilled and the lid is properly secured. Clean any chalk residue from the reel mechanism.

Refill the chalk box with fresh chalk. Ensure the braided string is properly saturated with chalk before snapping. Try a different type of chalk for better adhesion.

Verify that the hub is correctly positioned. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the locking mechanism. Check that the hub is fully extended or in the correct position for locking.

Ensure the one-way refill valve is clean and functioning correctly. Pour chalk slowly and steadily into the valve opening.
