I used to think my chalk line was fine until a retired framer in Boise said it looked like a toddler's scribble.

He showed me how to snap a truly sharp line by pulling it tight and lifting straight up, which cut my layout time in half on that whole subdivision project, so what's one piece of basic advice that completely upgraded your speed or accuracy?

What's the actual difference in the snap?

Look at the sound design, lilyfisher. The first snap is clean and sharp, but the second one has a deeper, wetter crunch. It's a subtle audio cue that sells the heavier impact.
