definitely better design that others so far, nicer line and better case. Loses a little chalk when stringing out but still worth it. Works fine on OSB depite other opinions, they probably hadn't broke the line in yet with chalk, once saturated it works excellent.

2.0 out of 5 stars A great, crisp line encased in a poorly designed case, March 14, 2010

The first time I struck a line with a friend's Tajima, I knew I must have one immediately. That was my first mistake.

About a week in, the line lock snapped off...followed by the crank a few weeks later. (I do not abuse my tools either) I returned it for a new one and not long after, the same thing happened. What a shame, I really liked the crisp, thin line that it made. Takes a little getting used to when trying to pull it tight...it seems to just stretch forever! Not a bad thing, just different. I ended up tossing the case and putting the line in my Irwin box. I even used the felt from the Tajima. Now I have a good line, albeit a hybrid of sorts.

It's pretty pricey too...must be made in a union shop by guys who are WAY overpaid. You union reviewers here know what I'm talking about.
