Whether on a construction site, renovation work, or home improvement. Striking cords are a popular tool for marking straight lines. Lack of precision is a common deficiency in construction that can’t be remedied, and you can prevent it with a handy batting cord.

Find out everything you need to know about chalk lines in our checklist. You will find a wide selection in our product recommendations.

Checklist For Percussion Cords

The Case
  • The case contains the string, a winch to wind it up, and the chalk powder. It should be both sturdy and have a handy shape.
  • Most often, the housing of a percussion cord is made of shock-resistant plastic or metal. Housing made of high quality processed metal is more durable and suitable for regular use.
  • A housing design with catch teeth or a roughened surface provides a better grip on all construction surfaces.
  • A rubber coating on the housing provides you with non-slip grips, making it easier to handle the striker cord.
Tensile Strength And Length Of The Chalk Line
  • The percussion cord should be tear-resistant and robust. It usually consists of a woven nylon cord. Blends of cotton and polyester can also be used in the manufacture of percussion cords.
  • As a rule, the percussion cord has an end hook, with which you can easily fix it.
  • The tensile strength of the cord indicates up to what weight you can load the cord. The higher the weight, the stronger the line.
  • The length of the chalk line is also important. Conventional percussion cords are usually 30 m long and are sufficient for any do-it-yourselfer.
The Chalk Powder
  • The case contains chalk powder, which is used to coat the percussion cord. High content of color pigments increases the visibility of the chalk markings on the construction surface.
  • The chalk powder is usually already included in percussion cord sets. So you can use the chalk line immediately.
  • Many cases have a sliding tray or another opening that allows you to easily refill the chalk powder.
  • A viewing window allows you to easily check the amount of chalk powder in the case.
The Handling
  • Many percussion chalkers have features that are designed to make your work more effective and comfortable.
  • A 3-to-1 gear ratio makes the line easier and faster to wind.
  • An integrated crank release allows you to lock the line at the desired length.
  • With a belt clip, you can always keep the strike line handy and convenient to carry.
