Been a while since we got a Tony Tip!! Drop your favorite Tony Tip in the comments 😜
What happens here
With the chalk line securely anchored by the nail, extend the line to its full desired length. Hold the line firmly and lift it slightly before letting it snap back onto the surface. The secure anchor point will prevent it from pulling loose or breaking, allowing for a clean, consistent mark. Once the line is snapped, remove the nail.
Goal: Create a clean chalk line mark and reset the tool.
Tools and materials
- Chalk Line — Marking a straight line on a surface
