Customer Reviews:

good product [Posted on 2007-06-12]
This is precisely what I was hoping for. It is heavy duty, well made and works. What a concept.

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!

Terrible product. [Posted on 2008-02-06]
This product is awful; the chalk breaks if it's extended too far, and if you don't extend it much then you have to keep handling the chalk in order to make it extend enough. Much easier to just use the piece of chalk by itself! Terrible. The cheap plastic retractable chalk holders are MUCH better. Awful.

Not great!!! [Posted on 2008-02-10]
You still have to handle the chalk anytime you want to extend it. If you screw the grip too tight it is forever too snug refardless how much you loosen it up; requiring handling the chalk. No auto extend....very disappointing, particularly given some of the rave reviews. I have a blue one and a silver one...same issues.
