The SnapBack Chalk Line by CE TOOLS
No one wants to walk back to retrieve a chalk line tip after snapping their line. Now they don't have to!
Sleek, Rugged Design. Fits in your hand perfectly whether you're right handed or left.
Premium rubber grips for comfort.
In Action!
Contractor Engineered for peak job site performance. Finally, a great chalk line! Designed by a third generation contractor tired of the traditional chalk lines that just are not user friendly!
Improved features for better everyday use
We have taken the aggravation of using a traditional chalk line and designed the SnapBack with improved features, making the SnapBack Chalk Line a pleasure to use.
Features:
- Releasable tip
- Nylon braided cord is stronger and lasts longer than a traditional chalkline string
- 4.4-1 planetary durable gear system with separator plate keeping chalk out of gears
- Accurate plumb bob
Other amazing features that make the SnapBack a superior chalk line
Belt Clip/Tip Docking Station
- Finally! It's a hand tool guys! Your hammer has a holster. Your tape measure has a belt clip. Even your screw driver has a spot to holster it, but chalk lines have been neglected. No more setting the chalkline down and watching it fall or slide away. The SnapBack comes with a high quality belt clip. Clip it and forget it!
- No more dangling tips! The SnapBack tip clips in flush to the back of the unit. It docks in the belt clip. What a design! No more tip that catches in your tool belt or your tool pouch as you pull out your chalkline.
SO EASY TO RELEASE!
It's so simple we've even had a 7 year old do it their first try. The red knuckle covers the teeth on the way back so the tip doesn't catch while reeling in the line. This can cut your steps in half!
Improved chalk fill door
The chalk fill door has 2 tabs that must be pinched to open the door. This reduces the accidental openings that other chalk line doors have.
No more mess in your tool box or tool bag!

It’s kind of bulky, or bigger than I expected. But holds chalk good and has a thinner line, which is exactly what I wanted. Good deal!

I used this chalk line for about a week before it broke. The line is weak and snaps if you pull on it hard to get the sag out when siding. It also locked up on me with about 10’ of line ran out. It’s decent for light use, but if you plan to use it everyday it’s junk. The $10 dewalt chalk lines are better.

The hook part isn't tapered/curved/pointed enough to catch on a thin edge, ie metal roofing panels. Even on luber it wasn't great, 1 out of 4 attemps would result in successful snapong the line. The snap back feature is a gimmick too. Mine is so stiff when/if you do manage to get the hook set it just sticks up and never makes it back down to "snap" the hook free. (Mind you I was only able to get the hook to stay a few times without a helper) really wanted to like it, but it's just too much of a pain for its cost. Really like the bright green chalk thay came with it though.

I use this for drywall board and first thing i would like to see is a shorter claw with the same design so i can get accurate corner cuts lined up. having the claw sitting out about a half inch from where it grabs really only makes it good for straight line snaps. i love it but im gonna have to take off the claw and put a shorter one on it. everything else about the design i love. the cord in it is silky to run on your fingers and elastic for stretching tight.

The string is thin, but holds the chalk well and is much better than any chalk line that I've used. I've used both the hooks to hook on an edge and the red plastic end to go around a nail. It winds up quickly and you just have to press the center of the handle to let out the line without the handle spinning around.

Great chalk line and very durable. Surviving extremely cold and wet canadian weather and hardcore framing.

Everything about this chalk line is superb! It snaps an ultra fine line and the braided line is extremely durable. The keeper for the hook end always keeps the hook end secure in my tool belt and the snap back feature is just a bonus. Not to minimize the snap back feature because it is very cool, but it would still be superior to any other I've used before without that feature! I am a professional builder who was getting very frustrated with the cheapness of standard chalk lines. You will not regret purchasing this

I just got this new chalk line, and it's great so far! The chalk reel seems very rugged and well made. The string is very good quality. I like the rubber grip. I also like that the string isn't in the way when you're filling it up with chalk.The chalk reel is as good or better than any other I ever used in every way I can think of, but the star of this show is definitely the releasable tip. It saves so much time. Once you've used this tip, you won't ever want to use a standard tip again!
