The claims of 3x faster spooling are accurate, by virtue of the handle's planetary gears. It's a fantastic feature, one that in hindsight is entirely obvious in it's benefit. While bouncing around in my toolbox for close to a year, nary a grit of chalk has escaped the enclosure. The thinner line and bit of foam inside leaves just the right amount of chalk on the line. You'll want to watch out for a bit of chalk leaving the line as you retract it, but still, you'll leave far less of a mess than with an Irwin. A fantastic example of reinvention.
