The Irwin STRAIT-LINE MACH6™ chalk reel features an easy fill and lock top that provides a wide opening for increased speed and visibility when filling the reel or accessing internals. The top locks securely with a 1/4 turn to prevent unwanted spills. The 100 ft hi-tensile line is 2.5X stronger than traditional chalk reels for fewer breaks on rough, abrasive surfaces and the reel has a 6,1 gear ratio to rewind the line 6X faster than traditional chalk reels.
