New chalk reels from Crescent Lufkin

Crescent Lufkin is launching its new line of chalk reels described as efficient and well-built and designed to avoid a messy experience.

The 100-Foot Professional Reel (#CLO100) is available with dual-material or aluminum case and features an end hook that retracts into a nested position, protecting it from unwanted snags. The rotating hub lock lets you stop the line in place, while the 6:1 gear ratio, rotating hub with fold-away handle provides faster rewind and reel protection during storage. The one-way chalk refill valve allows for quick chalk refills without the mess.

The 50-Foot Compact Reel (#CL50) fits easily into a pocket or work pouch and holds 50’ of line. The 3:1 reel offers faster rewind and decreased retrieval time than others in its class, while the fold-away handle locks the retrieval arm in place to prevent breaking or inadvertent unreeling.The 150-Foot Site Reel (#CL150) has snap-in end hook storage for fewer tangles during storage, a textured handle for better ergonomics, and a combination hook and ring design for use in all construction environments.

Crescent Lufkin also introduced new Hard Mark Blue Chalk, a high-brightness chalk that is 3X more visible than normal chalk. The full chalk line-up includes five colors (8 oz. and 2.5 oz. options) for a variety of user needs.
