The Chalk Hog 100 will be available shortly. Actually, the bottle application reduces chances of spillage and even under heavy use, the Chalk Hog 150 hasn't leaked. The ability to mark a mile longer is due to a felt "cleaning" pad housed where the line is drawn from the unit. This allows for a cleaner line when extracting the line, the snap line itself has less extra residue, and thus, the retrieval produces less waste. The entire unit is held together with only four screws and extremely durable. Chalk Hog 150 is available and as Ray noted, available at Lowe’s. The Chalk Hog 100 will be available shortly.

I've never had mine leak, though the refill bottles are a different story -- those little caps have a tendency to pop off when stored in a well-jostled toolbox.

I have seen these (or something very similar) at my local big box lately. Although the big 2 don't list them on their web sites. I think these have already been released.
