Multicolor Chalk Sets

Make bright, distinctive marks with this rainbow-hued chalk. It wipes away clean.

Premium Chalk—The chalk mathematicians clamor for because it’s denser, more vibrant, and cleaner to use than any other chalk. With three times the density of standard chalk, this chalk lasts longer and breaks less often. It’s also compression molded and heat treated to produce minimal dust as you write or erase. The vivid color stands out, but not on your hands—each stick is coated to keep chalk off your fingers.

Solid Line Marking Chalk

Mark lines on rough surfaces such as concrete, stone, and lumber. This solid chalk resists smearing better than powdered chalk and holds its shape as you use it, so your lines stay visible. It doesn’t require a holder, and its flat, wide profile makes broad, easy-to-read marks. Blue chalk is highly visible on light surfaces, while white chalk stands out on dark ones.

Hole Marking Chalk

Spot-on marks—no matter how tight the space. A simple press of the cap releases chalk into deep, narrow holes that standard marking tools can’t reach. This chalk leaves temporary, highly visible dots or crosshairs to help you drill holes, guide cuts, and align components.
