Review: Won't roll away on flat surfaces, made well and holds extremely still with well pointed nose down. Rust resistant but I gave it a coat of WD-40 Specialist to insure permanent resistance to corrosion. The string is long enough for most applications. Would buy this item again. ## Features - General Tools professional quality Brass Plumb Bobs have been a staple of the masonry, carpentry and surveying industries for more than 50 years - This retractable plumb bob is also equipped with a hardened steel point that has standard 10 to 32 threads; The tool's hardened steel point is accurate to within 1/100 and is easily replaceable - Features a removable self-centering brass cord cap for easy cord replacement; Cap is used used with 5/64 inch braided cord - This plumb bob weighs 8 oz and is 4-1/2 inches long and 1-3/16 inches wide; Conforms to U.S. government manufacturing specifications GGG-P-501e - This pumb bob is machined of solid brass, fully polished and lacquered; Comes with a 10 foot long 3mm braided cord, an extra string and tip ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004T7TO | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 411,786 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 35 in Plumb Bobs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,112) | | Date First Available | 17 April 2012 | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 254 g | | Item model number | 800-8 | | Manufacturer | General Tools | | Part Number | 800-8 | | Product Dimensions | 22.86 x 6.99 x 4.14 cm; 254.01 g | | Size | 8 Oz | | Style | Round Brass | ## Images ![General Tools 800-8 Brass Plumb Bob, 8 Ounce - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61T0lbfQVLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***B on 25 July 2020* Plum Bob great! String must be replaced never stops spinning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***Y on 6 August 2019* Won't roll away on flat surfaces, made well and holds extremely still with well pointed nose down. Rust resistant but I gave it a coat of WD-40 Specialist to insure permanent resistance to corrosion. The string is long enough for most applications. Would buy this item again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***E on 7 January 2013* I had a cheapo chrome plumb bob for years, and found this one on sale and knew I had some layout work coming up, so I bought it, it is much easier to use and more accurate because the shape allows you to see the point more easily than the one I am going to put on a table at the garage sale, which is flat sided except for the last 3/4 inch, making it more difficult to actually look down at the point, which is the business end. Until I used a good one, didn't know there was a difference. I don't need one all that often, but it is so pretty, makes me want to hang it up in the house somewhere, maybe on a beaded brass chain.... until I need it again. ;-) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/62578986-general-tools-800-8-brass-plumb-bob-8-ounce](https://www.desertcart.is/products/62578986-general-tools-800-8-brass-plumb-bob-8-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
