1. C.H. Hanson Chalk Hog
I love it when new dogs — or hogs — learn new tricks. That’s the case with C.H. Hanson’s Chalk Hog 100 chalk reel. It holds an entire 8 ounce bottle which loads by screwing the bottle to the box. Smart. It delivers more snaps while it’s about the same size as other reels. The tool keeps chalk inside, instead of it leaking into your bags or spraying as you pay out line according to C.H. Hanson. It has a braided cord which is about 3x stronger than cotton lines and pops crisp lines. Add the 6x return gear, a built-in carpenter’s pencil sharpener and an aggressive hook end. Chalk Hog 100 has a big pork chop brother Chalk Hog 150 for serious framing, roofing, and concrete layout; together they’ll keep you riding high on the hog.
