Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chalk Holder - Commando Clear Anodized Handle with Standard School Chalk (See Item 152-1214 for Chalk Holder with Bonus Protective Storage Tube)
Customer Review: High quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Customer Review: Wonderful Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Of the three chalk holders I purchased, this is by far the best. The others were either too thick (plastic) or the chalk would slide in when writing on the board. This one holds the chalk well - the clip prevents it from rolling on desk - nice touch. The free, clear case is wonderful - keeps my bag clean. Yes, you have to unscrew the bottom when sliding out more chalk but that takes less than 2 seconds. I do it while talking to the class. I will be purchasing a couple more; One to have "ready to go" in case I don't want to stop for a few seconds. The other will be for colored chalk. Great product.Customer Review: Pleased purchaser

Now that I've gotten the hang of feeding out more chalk quickly while I'm instructing from the board, I'm very pleased with the way this chuck has improved my experience with chalk. Cuts out a lot of the mess and as others have pointed out, it holds the chalk much more securely than the spring models. I would recommend experimenting with different types of chalk till you find one that suits the holder; for instance, I have a more brittle brand that tends to break when I tighten the nut.Customer Review: Great chalk holder

If you teach with traditional chalk, you usually have to wash your hands after class from the chalk. With this chalk holder I find myself washing my hands only half the time, and it is a fancy way of teaching. For everyone who loves the feel of metal, this is a great addition to your gear.Customer Review: Great chalk holder

The chalk holder came shortly after I placed my order. I used it the second day and loved it. It holds chalks real tight. It doesn't hold thick chalks, though.
