Product Description
Milwaukee 100 ft. Bold Chalk Line Reel
Model Number: 48-22-3980
The Milwaukee 48-22-3980 is a 100 ft. Bold Chalk Line Reel (bare tool, no chalk included) — a professional-grade chalk line reel in the bold line specification for superior chalk mark width and visibility on rough, textured, and dark construction surfaces where standard-diameter chalk lines leave faint, difficult-to-read marks. The bold line's larger-diameter cord holds more chalk per unit length than standard weight lines — carrying more chalk to the surface during the snap for a wider, denser mark that is more visible at working distance across the full 100 ft. snap length. This is particularly valuable on rough concrete subfloors, textured masonry, and coarse wood surfaces where standard lines deposit insufficient chalk for clearly legible marks that remain visible under the foot traffic and activity of active construction work.
The bare tool format means chalk is not included with this purchase — the reel loads with standard powdered chalk in the operator's choice of color for saturating the bold line before snapping. The sealed housing protects chalk from spillage during transport and storage. At 100 ft., the line covers the full span of most residential and light commercial construction layout tasks — framing layout on full-floor decks, long tile reference lines, full-width wall layout on large commercial floors, and the extended reference lines of production construction layout work. Milwaukee's bold line reel mechanism maintains proper line tension throughout the snap cycle and the hook provides stable, accurate anchor for single-operator snapping.
