New Milwaukee Chalk Reels Promise “Longest Gear Life in the Industry”

Even though we rely heavily on chalk reels to properly layout components on a job site, we often don’t consider quality when buying them.  If you have frustrations with broken gears and ripped lines on your past chalk reels, then Milwaukee Tool hopes to have a solution for you.

With the introduction of their new Bold Line and Precision Line Chalk Reels, available February 2015, Milwaukee has promised the tool to deliver the “longest gear life in the industry.”

“Current chalk reels available lack the durability that’s expected on the jobsite.  Throughout our research, we saw countless broken chalk reels on jobsites – namely broken gears and ripped lines. Users repeatedly buy new chalk reels, leading to an immense amount of downtime and cost.” said Bobby Shaw, Director of Product Marketing for Milwaukee Tool. “Chalk reels are so widely used on the jobsite that they shouldn’t be looked at as a disposable tool. Through a never-before-seen gear system and proprietary clutch, we’ve set out to completely change the way users can expect to use their chalk reels, giving them the long-lasting durability they need to tackle all of their projects.”

The Bold Line Chalk Reel is a 1.5mm braided line for more pronounced lines and the Precision is a thinner .9mm braided line for a more crisp line.  Both versions are reinforced with a StripGuard Clutch that protects gears when the line is snagged or the user uses too much force.  The braided lines of both reels also provide a lot more durability.
