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

By	Marco Bellini - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible product., February 6, 2008

By	DCL (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This product is awful; the chalk breaks if it's extended too far, and if you don't extend it much then you have to keep handling the chalk in order to make it extend enough. Much easier to just use the piece of chalk by itself! Terrible. The cheap plastic retractable chalk holders are MUCH better. Awful.

3.0 out of 5 stars good idea but not worth it in the end, July 2, 2009

By	C. Lohr "trtlekltz" (PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I hate getting chalk everywhere (it always seems to end up on my black pants) so I thought this would be a good idea. In the end it sits in the chalk dust under the black board and gets covered any way. On the bright side my students love using it.
