SPARKS, Md., Aug. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For too long, professionals have had to deal with chalk reels that are messy, inefficient and poorly built. That's why Crescent Lufkin is launching its new line of chalk reels, designed to erase the most common problems with the competition's products.

The new chalk reels from Crescent Lufkin put those problems to bed.

Crescent chalk reels are feature-rich in order to make every pro’s work easier. With a one-way refill valve and a quarter-turn removable top, filling the chalk reel is quick and clean. A one-hand hub lock keeps the reel firmly secured and the end hook slides securely into a storage recess so it won’t catch on other items in your tool bag. With a 6:1 gear ratio, retraction is fast and the compound braided line improves chalk retention for well-defined lines, snap after snap.

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.

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.

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.
