Perfect Gift For Favorite Teacher [Posted on 2007-05-19]
One thing I hate about using chalk is the residue on my hands, especially when you use colored chalk to emphathize certain items. I went for this item because the plastic holders my school provides break if you look at them wrong. These holders are absolutely outstanding!!! No residue, easy to use. Durable. I have no worrys about using them. To top it off, it gives me an added professional appearance to my daily presentations. I highly recommend you buy this. Better yet, if you are looking to get something for that favorite teacher, this is a great low-cost item that I am sure most teachers don't even think about getting for themselves. Buy it!!!!

High quality product [Posted on 2007-09-09]
These chalk holders were a great investment. They are expensive, but worth every cent. They really grip the chalk very firmly - other chalk holders that I have used in the past do not grip the chalk very firmly at all, with the result that the chalk was inevitably pressed back into the chalk holder the moment I started writing on the blackboard. I keep two or three chalk holders at hand for every colour - in case the stick of chalk breaks or gets used up during the course of a lesson. (Breaking of the chalk during writing can be avoided by letting it protrude no more than a centimetre from the tip of the chalk holder - but then it may not last the whole lesson.)

I keep a set of the Commando chalk holders in a plastic pencil box in my briefcase. I use the clear anodised chalk holder for white chalk; the gold anodised chalk holder for yellow, orange and red chalk; and the blue anodised chalk holder for green, blue and purple chalk. The chalk holders look very professional, and best of all - they stop my hands getting covered in chalk dust!

sturdy, but chalk breaks easily and hard to reload [Posted on 2007-09-18]
If the chalk breaks, which happens easily against the metal edges, especially in the hands of enthusiastic junior high students doing board races, you have to unscrew the top and use the edge of a paperclip, or other sharp, thin object, to push the chalk up so that it can be used again. This tool is much sturdier than the plastic variety, but doesn't have the button on bottom that you can push for easy chalk release and refill.

Great Product [Posted on 2007-10-27]
I bought this product for my husband. He told me he loves it and would recommend it to other teachers.

very durable except . . . [Posted on 2008-04-18]
This product is all metal and very durable. The end must be unscrewed and screwed back down every time you need to extend the chalk. This can be somewhat annoying when you are trying to lecture as it slows up your pace when writing notes on the board. Now I use them for my colored chalk, which I use less frequently, and went back to my spring-activated chalk holder for white chalk.
