Stanley 47-440 Chalk Reel 100 Feet

Product Description

The STANLEY 47-440 is a 100-foot chalk reel used to snap long, straight reference lines on flat surfaces such as floors, walls, roofing decks, and subfloors. It holds chalk line string wound on an internal reel with a retract mechanism, allowing the user to pull a taut line and snap a visible chalk mark across the work surface. At 0.29 pounds, the tool is lightweight enough for single-handed use during layout work. It is a standard layout tool for carpenters, tile setters, roofers, and general contractors who need accurate long-distance reference lines on a job site.

The STANLEY 47-440 is suited for residential and light commercial construction layout tasks. Common applications include snapping tile grids, marking stud or joist layout lines, aligning roofing courses, and establishing reference lines on concrete slabs or plywood decking. The 100-foot line capacity covers most single-room and roof-panel layout runs without repositioning. It is a hand-carried, job-site tool that requires no power source and works indoors or outdoors.

Installation Notes

Chalk reels are a hand-operated layout tool and require no installation. Fill the chalk reservoir with the appropriate color chalk powder before use and secure the end hook to a fixed reference point before pulling the line taut. Keep the line dry when snapping on porous surfaces to ensure a clean, legible mark. Replace chalk powder as needed to maintain mark visibility.
