We met up with apprentice carpenter Angus ‘Gus’ Redfearn from Teak Building for this Tough Test. He put four STRAIT-LINE Chalk Reels to the test: the MACH6™, Compact as well as SPEEDLINE™ and SPEEDLINE PRO. One thing you know you’re getting with IRWIN Chalk Reels is speed. With all four STRAIT-LINE reels, the reel-in times were outstanding.
