5.0 out of 5 stars High quality product, September 9, 2007

This review is from: Chalk Holder - Commando Clear Anodized Handle with Standard School Chalk (See Item 152-1214 for Chalk Holder with Bonus Protective Storage Tube) (Misc.)

These chalk holders were a great investment. They are expensive, but worth every cent. They really grip the chalk very firmly - other chalk holders that I have used in the past do not grip the chalk very firmly at all, with the result that the chalk was inevitably pressed back into the chalk holder the moment I started writing on the blackboard. I keep two or three chalk holders at hand for every colour - in case the stick of chalk breaks or gets used up during the course of a lesson. (Breaking of the chalk during writing can be avoided by letting it protrude no more than a centimetre from the tip of the chalk holder - but then it may not last the whole lesson.)

I keep a set of the Commando chalk holders in a plastic pencil box in my briefcase. I use the clear anodised chalk holder for white chalk; the gold anodised chalk holder for yellow, orange and red chalk; and the blue anodised chalk holder for green, blue and purple chalk. The chalk holders look very professional, and best of all - they stop my hands getting covered in chalk dust!

To the person who gave this one star, shame on you. Breaking chalk is hardly the fault of the holder and more often the product of someone who doesn't know how to use it properly, or 'not recklessly'.
I've used chalk chucks for nearly 20 years now, we use them in the film business for marking actors. They're invaluable and save a lot of time. I've tried and tested quite a few over the years and this one gets my vote because of one major factor that I've never seen before, and for some insane reason, it's not mentioned in the product description or any of the reviews.
The chalk is dispensed with a screw release top, loosen and chalk comes out, tighten and chalk stays in place. Whereas most chalk chucks rely on a spring top which you press like a click pen. This chuck is light, it's easy to grip, hold the chalk in place firmly, and has stood the rigors of my workdays for over a month now, no breaking chalk, comes with a little tube, and I'll definitely buy another.
The DELUXE CHALK KEEPER CHALK HOLDER by THE STIKKIWORKS CO, sells here on Amazon for 2 dollars more, and is really rugged and hardy, but it's spring loaded. So, if you like the idea of a screw dispenser buy this, otherwise get the Stikkiworks one!DELUXE CHALK KEEPER CHALK HOLDER

The pair of Commando Chalk Holders that I purchased came in excellent condition.
I carry two to class on a regular base, and they work nicely. The only complaint that I have is that once in a while a holder does not hold the chalk very firmly,
though the Commando Holders do a much better job of holding than other types of holders.
