ABSTRACT:
A chalk line tool is provided having a tear-drop shaped body which houses a chalk line spool and chalk for coating the chalk line and a handle connected to the body and acting as a reservoir for additional chalk. The reservoir feeds the cavity in the body. The flow of chalk is controlled between the reservoir and the cavity. The handle advantageously acts to maintain the operator's hands away from the hand crank used to retract the chalk line and provides an extended reach with the tool for improved ergonomics when using the tool. The chalk line tool can be manufactured with the handle or can be retrofit with parts which are supplied as a kit.
