The issue was fixed just now on the phone

Not the one I have. It's a good product. worth the extra money.

No. I have not had that issue at all. I have owned this Chalk Reel for over two years now without a single problem. Durable and reliable.

No

There was a small amount while dispensing the line, but no more than normal.

NO, HAS A NEW DESIGN TO GET CHALK CONTAINED

This chalk can stain and may not wash out.

Yes it works great

Because of the red chalk it is meant to stay. You do not want to use red if you are wanting it to come right off. This is the color that you want to use if you are chalking concrete so the lines will stay for multiple days. It does fade and as you sweep and it becomes lighter and lighter. It did get all over my favorite hoodie, but it washed out in the laundry. If you are looking for chalk that rubs off faster, try a blue. Don't waste your time grinding up chalk they have various colors at the store for a reasonable price.

The end that the line comes out of unscrews.

Twist the cap where the string comes out.

FILL THE CHALK LINE REEL WITH CHALK - SHAKE FILLED CHALK REEL TWENTY TIMES - NOW IT READY.

On the top of the reel you just twist the top of and pour in the powder chalk

there is a flapper on the charcoal real itself that opens up so that you can dump the chalk provided into the body of the chart for real. Do not fill it completely only about three force of the way. Once you do this close the flapper back and tap it on the pad of your hand to shake the chalk around and cut the string. For the first few uses you may have to shake the chalk around every 20 feet or so To make sure you are getting a good coding on the line so you get a well-defined chalk line when you pop the string
