Business
Pop-up Sports & Event Marking
Offer a mobile service to mark soccer goals, small-sided fields, pickleball courts, fun runs, vendor booth grids, and queue lanes. Fast 6:1 retraction accelerates layout changes between events. Upsell custom patterns, recurring maintenance, and add-on signage. Ideal for schools, churches, rec leagues, and festivals.
Tile & Flooring Pre-Layout Service
Provide pre-marked reference lines, room centerlines, and pattern grids for homeowners and contractors before tile, LVP, or hardwood installation. The precise 1 mm line and variable lock enable accurate offsets for grout lines and herringbone/chevron repeats. Charge per room or square footage; include moisture-resistant chalk for active job sites.
Mural Prep for Artists and Businesses
Specialize in scaling and snapping grids, centerlines, and composition guides for muralists, sign painters, and branding teams. Bundle site measurements, surface prep recommendations, and day-of snapping. The smooth clutch release prevents smudges on delicate or primed surfaces.
Landscape & Hardscape Layout
Mark bed edges, patio outlines, walkway axes, retaining wall lines, and fence alignments for homeowners and landscapers. Use the planetary gear system to avoid downtime on long runs and the extra-large refill cap to keep chalk topped up. Offer 2D plans with on-site snapping for a premium package.
Cabinet, Framing, and Remodel Marking
Provide on-site layout snapping for studs, partition lines, cabinet runs, appliance centers, and backsplash patterns in remodels.

Creative
Mural Grid Master
Snap perfectly spaced vertical and horizontal grids on large walls to scale up sketches for mural painting. The 1 mm line drops crisp marks, the integrated clutch and variable lock let you tension and place lines precisely, and the 6:1 gear ratio speeds resets between grid lines. Great for school, community, and commercial mural projects.
Giant Geometric Patio Art
Lay out bold geometric patterns on driveways or patios by snapping intersecting lines as guides for tape masking and paint/stain. The water-resistant red chalk holds long enough for painting, and the planetary gears prevent jams during frequent re-snaps. Create stars, chevrons, or tessellations for stunning outdoor art.
Backyard Field Day Layout
Design temporary game courts and race lanes—four-square, hopscotch, bocce lanes, relay tracks—by snapping quick, straight lines across grass or pavement. The nesting hook and die-cast body make it durable on the go, and the extra-large refill cap simplifies topping up chalk during a long day of games.
Perspective Street Art Plotter
Map vanishing points and converging guide lines to plan anamorphic chalk or paint illusions on sidewalks and plazas. The variable lock helps hold exact line lengths to key anchor points, while the bright red chalk provides high visibility for precise execution.
String-Shadow Installation Guide
Use snapped chalk lines to mark anchor grids for string or wire installations that cast designed shadows at specific times of day. The integrated clutch allows smooth release when aligning long spans up to 100 ft, and the 6:1 retraction keeps setup efficient for iterative adjustments.
