Dustless Chalk

Write up a storm without creating dust clouds. This chalk is compression molded and heat treated so dust doesn't form while you write or erase. Three times denser than regular chalk, it lasts longer and breaks less often. The vibrant color stands out on chalkboards but not on hands—a coating around each stick keeps chalk off of your fingers.

Dustless Chalk Sets

Brighten up your chalkboard with these vibrant, rainbow-hued chalk sets. This chalk is three times denser than regular chalk, so you can make smooth, bold lines. The chalk in these sets is compression molded and heat treated for a long-lasting chalk that erases easily without creating dust. A protective coating around each stick helps keep chalk off of your fingers, and prevents sticks from cracking under pressure.

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.
