Crescent Lufkin CLA100A 100-Foot Professional Cast Aluminum Chalk Reel

The Crescent Lufkin CLA100A 100-Foot Professional Cast Aluminum Chalk Reel is a heavy-duty layout marking instrument engineered for snapping long alignment gridlines and verifying vertical plumb alignment across commercial jobsites. Manufactured with a rugged die-cast aluminum housing, this 100-foot marking tool doubles as a precision plumb bob using its integrated centerline case markers. Outfitted with a large sliding refill door for mess-free powder loading, a high-strength braided cord, a recessed end-hook docking channel to prevent pouch snags, and a 2/5-pound total weight, this layout tool executes multi-axis framing and masonry alignment tasks.

Best Used For:

  • Commercial Framing & Subfloor Grid Layout: Snapping continuous 100-foot reference lines across plywood floor decking, joists, and wall bottom plates.
  • Vertical Plumb Line Verification: Utilizing the case centerline marker and weighted aluminum body as a traditional plumb bob for tall wall framing.
  • Masonry & Concrete Formwork Alignment: Marking straight chalk reference guidelines directly on poured concrete slabs and masonry block courses.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Housing: Solid metallic casing protects internal line components against high-impact jobsite drops and rough handling.
  • Dual-Function Plumb Bob Feature: Centerline body geometry allows the weighted reel to serve as a vertical plumb reference tool.
  • Large Sliding Access Refill Door: Wide sliding port allows fast, spill-free chalk powder reloading to minimize jobsite downtime.
  • Integrated End Hook Docking Port: Recessed storage channel holds the steel hook flush against the housing to eliminate tool bag snags.
  • High-Tensile 100-Foot Braided Cord: Durable braided line holds powder evenly to deliver crisp, legible snap marks over long spans.
  • Compact Ergonomic Case Profile: Measured at 7.2" x 4.9" x 0.40 lbs to fit comfortably in tool pouches and utility belts.
