Apex Tool Group Llc CL100R 100 Ft Red Chalk Reel

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC CL100R is a 100-foot red chalk reel designed for layout and line-marking work across construction, mechanical, and trade applications. Built around a 6:1 gear ratio, the reel retracts the compound braided line quickly, reducing downtime between snaps. The braided line construction improves chalk retention, producing clean, well-defined marks on concrete, framing, drywall, and substrate surfaces. A quarter-turn removable top combined with a one-way refill valve makes reloading chalk fast and keeps the process clean. Weighing 0.42 pounds, the CL100R is light enough for all-day carry.

The CL100R fits residential and commercial job-site layout tasks performed by carpenters, framers, tile setters, plumbers, and electricians marking rough-in locations. The one-hand hub lock keeps the reel body secure during operation. The end hook stores in a dedicated recess built into the housing, preventing the hook from snagging on other tools or materials inside a tool bag or belt pouch. This design detail makes it practical for trades that move frequently between work areas and need reliable, tangle-free tool retrieval.

Installation Notes

No power source or mechanical installation is required for this tool. Anchor the end hook to a fixed reference point before pulling the line taut for snapping.
