A must have tool for anyone who’s in the building game-no matter what trade.Speedy delivery from the U.S to the U.K.
@willscratch1 thanks for the great feedback,
This is the tool to have. It’s a simple, durable and compact design makes it very easy to use. I’m always impressed by it. Measure and mark your sheet the thing clips directly on the mark, your string won’t fall or b away from the material, not like using a nail, very accurate and works right every time. It’s like having the right tool for the job. Anybody know what that’s like? What a great tool for the do-it-your-self-er or for any carpenter. Well worth the money!!! Exceptional quality!!!
Customer with no you-tube acct asked me to post this for him,I am a builder and framing contractor. I is not very often that an inexpensive product comes along that actually makes life easier and quicker. I have also started using it in my metal work also. After using it myself I showed it to one of the old timers on my crew and I have to continuously steal it back from him. Doug Lough, Lough const.
@phartattack I forgot to mention…. You stillhave to go back to the clip to remove it. you cant just whip it off like the clip on the chalk line or shake it loose like the tape measure. It does look handy though.
@akdude182 He’s not selling the CHALK LINE he’s selling the CLIP! and I use a large metal clip but it doesnt have the special holes for the tape measure. I just clip my line on one mark and pull the chalk line to the other mark.
@3066red Thanks , I was working on an extreme makeover house and over 20% of the carpenter’s had them in their bag’s , Some I sold to them and others A truss company bought from me and gave them to their best customer’s, they put their logo on the handle’s , better than pencil’s cause pencils they sharpen and throw on the ground when done, Tell your local truss Companies,
I just bought 2 of these. These clamps works just like the video says, Clamp snap move on. I would recommend this tool to anyone who uses a chalk line. I am going to see if my lumber yard will start selling them Great job V Line.
this thing has been around for hundreds of years.they use to take some sting,rub charcoal on it,fasen it to one end of what they were working on,go to the other side,pull it tight and snap it aginst what they were working on
HEY deathtakes666-why don’t you put your biggoted head in a 12 inch miterbox and chop off the sick part of your body. Why do you even waste your time making such stupid comments. Try the product and make a comment on that. Geesh, you are a doofus.
@sundanceroofing Thanks, we could use all the help we can get in getting the word out,
I love this tool. I made a page on my website, just to display it! See it on the “Tools of the Trade” page at wwwMySundanceRoofingCom.
@mookixox I heard that buddy but it’s actually needed now more than ever, with the downsizing , I own my own crew and I am the inventor, and when people comment real carpenter’s wont need it I think damn thirty year’s and I’m not a real carpenter?? till I look at their bio and comment’s to other people and realize why they say consider the source,lol too many house’s on the market, I too wish it could be like it was, The tool is a great Item , every customer is happy,!!!
I would buy one if it wasn’t for the fact the American housing economy has officially been destroyed for the next 12 years or so…
Coz sa asy….
Not only does it work awesome for the tasks shown in the video, you can use several with dry lines when laying out decking piers, foundations, any project that uses dry lines/battens to square things up. Instead of untying, sliding , and re-tying the dry line, you simply run the v-line along the batten using the clamp. It’s a great third hand for many projects.
Looks like a great product, simple and effective…
This is nothing new!!!! It is also called a “Snap Line”. They have been out for over 30 years. Perhaps this is to promote V-Line
or just use a regular spring clamp
@deathtakes666
I thought he was a Jew
Guess he was a Southern Baptist.
Hope he makes a million dollars selling this invention simple but effective
Great idea, I hope you sell a million of them.
@mr3ggroll whip it all you want, if you watch the Video you will see that when he pulls on it the plywood move’s but the V-Line stay’s on mark, at 2:11
is it accurate? what if the guy accidently whip it at an angle?
