Introduction
The Chalk Pot is a portable home for your chalk, and it’s one of those items you don’t know that you want/need until you use it. This mechanism makes it easier to use chalk during your workout and store it.
There is no doubt that any plastic bucket will get the job done for chalk buckets. You’ll see home gym users use things from old ice cream buckets to 5-gallon buckets from the local home improvement store. Those things work just fine, but the ease, convenience, and low cost of this Chalk Pot make it an item many should consider.
The ‘Why’
Why do you need a unique chalk bucket? This gives your chalk a home. Organization and storage are among the most underrated aspects of a home gym. The cheap plastic buckets are great if you don’t have anything else, but they are constantly being moved around the gym, they get kicked over if you have little hands and curious minds coming into your gym, be prepared for a mess, and (let’s face it) they’re not sexy. Plus, they take up precious space.
The Design
The Chalk Pot includes a magnetic strip on the back, making it an accessible item to store on your rack, wall-mounted pull-up bar, Wall-Control board, etc. The bowl has the perfect angle to make keeping your chalk mess-free. The magnetic is very strong; there is no sliding around when you mount it where you want it. The bowl is large enough for an entire brick of chalk but small enough to store conveniently. It has a diameter of 6″ and a depth from the back of the bowl of 5″.
Two different color options are available – Black and Green.
Verdict
Full-on chalk bowls (like the ones you would find at weightlifting meets or elite gyms) are expensive, and honestly, they would take up too much space in most home gyms. The plastic bucket is cheap and often free, but they have its flaws. The Chalk Pot is ideal for those who use chalk in their home gyms. Its design makes it highly convenient, and it gives your chalk a mess-free home, all that for under $30. This item is a winner. It feels like it was built for the home gym community. Some people may scoff when they see something like this for sale (finding it unnecessary), but it is truly one of those items that you didn’t know you needed until you have it.
Conclusion
The Chalk Pot is a winner for home gyms. It is inexpensive, improves organization, cuts down on mess, and stays out of the way. The price puts it in the perfect ‘gift’ category. It’s the type of item that can be appreciated by anyone who uses chalk, but it’s probably not on the top of the list of things to buy.
