Key Features of Spear and Jackson Lines & Pins

• Brick lines: a strong, hard-wearing line that stays taut over long runs, helping you keep courses level and straight without sagging.
• Chalk lines and refills: a crisp, visible mark on timber, concrete, masonry and plasterboard. Refills let you keep using the same line reel instead of replacing the whole tool.
• Line pins: designed to grip the mortar joint or brickwork and hold the line firmly in position, so it stays where you set it as you work along the wall.
• Practical, site-ready design: simple tools that are quick to set up, easy to carry in a tool bag and built for regular use.

They also suit DIYers building garden walls, laying paving or fitting decking, where accurate setting out makes the difference between a neat finish and a wavy one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a brick line and a chalk line?

A brick line is stretched between two points as a guide while you lay bricks or blocks. A chalk line is coated with chalk and snapped against a surface to leave a straight marked line.

Do I need line pins as well as a brick line?

Yes, for most brickwork. Line pins anchor the line at each end of the wall, keeping it tight and in the correct position.

Can I refill a Spear and Jackson chalk line?

Yes. Chalk refills mean you can top up the line case rather than buy a new tool, which keeps running costs down.

What can I mark with a chalk line?

Chalk lines work on timber, concrete, masonry, plasterboard and floors, making them useful for carpentry, tiling, fencing and general site layout.
