The ChalkBlaster, created by Kent Eskildsen and Paul Ménager of Sweep Climbing, is the world’s first electric jet‑powered climbing brush that fuses a brush, blower, and phone charger into a single handheld tool. After an initial Kickstarter fell short, the duo engineered a refined version with custom batteries, circuit boards and 3D‑printed housings.

A second generation is already in development to cut noise and add a reversible vacuum function.
