Chalk line

A chalk line or chalk box is a tool for marking long, straight lines on relatively flat surfaces, much farther than is practical by hand or with a straightedge. They may be used to lay out straight lines between two points, or vertical lines by using the weight of the line reel as a plumb line.

My uncle used one with red chalk when we replaced my grandmas roof. It helped set everything to measurement.

Also useful in the sense that the line itself can be washed off relatively easily vs something like ink or pencil.

There are varying levels of how permanent the line is which is usually denoted by the color of the chalk.

depends on the color, red is used so it does NOT wash off, whereas blue washes off quite easily
