The Reel knob is hard to find - It needs to be pulled out to rewind & it looks the same on both sides, I waste time trying to open the wrong side, If Stanley made it a bit different it would be easier to identify by feel.

I have lost the handles on both of my Chalk boxes, the Pin slides out after use. They need a better way of securing the pin.

I still use them , except I painted the knob side to identify which side pulls out & I keep an eye on the pin holding the handle on & reset it often

Review : Well, I haven't broken it yet, that's the good thing. I like the kind of string they use and it seems to pass through the tip easy enough.
Things I like about this chalk line:
- sometimes quick rewind
- good hook...not all chalk lines have a good hook
- good string
- nice grip...well, ok, its got rubber on the sides, a bit of an overkill to mee

Things I don't like:
- Its huge...most chalk lines are much smaller and take up less space in my belt.
- that pop-out rewinder handle...takes too long to get it out
- the lock...doesn't work consistantly...most lines you can just set the handle and it locks, not this one
- the gears don't like to work when you first fill it up...maybe it can take 4 oz of chalk, but it won't rewind with that much in it!
