Doesn’t look ANYTHING like the plumb bob pictured.

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

The item I received does not look anything like the plumb bob pictured in the ad. I was hoping it was much fatter. I design jewelry and wanted to use this to create cone- shaped jewelry pieces from metal. I’ve included pictures of what I actually received. Really disappointed. Don’t know anything about the tool as it is meant to be used, I only needed it for shaping tin.

Great Stanley Quality; Perfect Size For Rough-Centering Tripods

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

I prefer to use Stanley plumb bobs because I find their quality to be the best(I have had problems with other brands). I also appreciate being supplied with an extra tip. This 8-ounce version is the same shape as the 16-ounce version, contrary to the picture on the product page. It is 4+1/2 inches long. The packaging is also the same as the 16-ounce version aside from being smaller. This is the perfect size to use for centering tripods. I use it to rough-center theodolites(surveying instruments). To string it, I use nylon building cord; I heat the end and while still soft, draw it into a point; it is then easy to feed through the hole with a twisting motion. Then tie a knot(a figure eight knot is traditional) to secure it. The other end of the line should also be treated to prevent unraveling.

Beautifully machined and polished

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

Like the 16 oz. plumb bob from Stanley, the 8 oz. plumb bob is made of beautifully machined brass and comes with a replacement tip. I bought the 8 oz. at the same time that I bought the 16 oz., not knowing the advantages or disadvantages of the difference in weight. After using them for a variety of tasks, I can see two advantages to the heavier bob: One is that the string is tauter and doesn't move as much when you try to mark it; The second is that if you're working outside, the heavier bob won't be as easily disturbed by wind playing on the string.

But, for most indoor applications you won't notice the difference, except that the 8 oz. bob is easier to work with if you don't need the extra stability. The shape of the bob makes it settle very quickly. The point makes it easy to see when it has stopped swaying by comparing with a mark on the floor. It also allows you to find the precise point on the floor under a particular point on the ceiling.

It would have been nice if a string was included in the package.

The picture in this listing is not what you'll receive ...

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

The picture in this listing is not what you'll receive. Google 'Stanley 47-973', which is the actual product you'll receive. It's longer, and about an inch in diameter, whereas this picture is a short, fat plumb bob.

A plumb bob is a plumb bob, but the picture is wrong. Also, the item weight in this listing says '1 pound', but the heading says 8-ounces.

Lastly, if you want to use ball-chain to suspend this plumb bob, you'll need 2.4mm ball chain (#3). Nothing larger.

Nice looking, works good, don't forget to order the string...

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

Overall a nice looking and decent working plumb bob. The description should clearly state it does not include string. Small but important as I had to run out to the store to buy a short reel to use it (which defeated the whole two-day delivery concept). I am framing my basement and the breeze block walls are not very straight. It works well to carry lines from the ceiling to the floor. Needs to be steadied when hanging as it takes a bit to "settle down." Includes a spare tip that I seriously doubt I would find if I ever broke the steel tip on the bob...

Brass Plum bob

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

As a lot of other users have stated, it doesn't look like the picture. It's longer and thinner than the picture, but it worked for me. I wish it came with a nylon sheath or something, but for the price I was pleased.

Terrible machining.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

The item I received was not what was pictured. Also, A plumb bob should be a fairly precision instrument. The threaded hole at the top was not even near center. The top screwed on and off fine but it would not hang level because of how off the tapped whole was drilled.

Sure looks like it comes with string

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

I should not have to read the Q&A to see that this does nt come with string. I by-passed several others that obviously didn't come with string that were less expensive to find this one because the photo showed it with string.
Daughter needs it to hang a shelf and then will probably never use it again. Not looking for a heirloom tool. Wanted a plumb bob she could use out of tye box without needing to find string.
Quite dissapointed.
