Choosing Tajima tools
For marking out, a chalk line leaves a mark that brushes off, while an ink snap line leaves a longer-lasting mark. Pick the line thickness to suit the job: the range includes 0.5 mm ultra thin and 1 mm extra bold lines. Refill chalk is sold in several colours, and dye and ink are listed in black and red.
For knives, choose the blade width first: the snap blade knives come in 9, 18 and 25 mm, with the 25 mm rock hard version listed as extra heavy duty. Then match replacement blades to the knife by width and type (snap segment or solid) before ordering.
For caulking guns, match the gun to the cartridge or sausage and the thickness of the material: the Super 12 and Super 26 are listed for thick and extra thick viscous material, and the sausage and cartridge guns take both formats.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm sizes, blade fit and pack quantities on the product page before you order.
