Types of Chalk Holders

A chalk holder pen is used to extend the life of chalk and prevent breakage. The most common are metal chalk holders and plastic chalk holders. They work by providing a case for the chalk to fit into which allows you to control the amount of chalk that is exposed. They work very similar to a mechanical pencil. The benefits of a chalk pen is that it not only protects the chalk, but it also helps to keep your hands clean as you use it. Chalk holder pens can be used with traditional sized school chalk or larger sizes such a sidewalk chalk.
