I’ve worked construction for years, and chalklines have always been hard to keep in a nail pouch or pocket. Now that the size of the chalklines is larger, it is that much harder. To solve the problem, I took the belt clip off an old tape measure and screwed it on the back of the chalkline. Now I can keep it on my tool belt and out of the way.
