MOONWELLPro Plumb Bob with String (8m/26ft 450g/15oz)

The bob steady's very easily because it has a little pivot point on top which acts as shock absorber for small shakes.The Pin that you nail into wood nails in just fine but the only mechanical bond is made from a hot plastic weld so the very first time I pulled it from the wood the pin broke off of the nailing rod. I fixed this with epoxy.The joints on the plastic reel were not tight in places, similar to most Chinese products and if dirt get inside these things over time the reel will get clogged up and not work, had to epoxy the gaps shut as well.It comes in a box that is for a different model of plumb bob reel, so the directions are no helpBut the bob alone is almost worth the $30 it costs for the whole setup.

Works great but the spot marked on it say 2 inch but it's like 1 13/16" so that needs to be fixed, I install elevators and this is perfect for plumbing rails, and a great price

I do not know who bob is but this thing works. A magnet that sticks and string that swings until its tired and has no energy, then just hangs there.

I received this plumb bob only 10 mins ago, I opened it and my wife asked me what it is so I went to show her. As I went to pull the string down it went down all of 6 inches till it got caught. I went to unscrew it to see if the string just got caught off track and when I took the last screw out it exploded in my face. Needless to say I'm returning it and went with the tajima which I should have went with to begin with but was trying to save a couple bucks never again.

I see people often comparing these to lasers. This is much cheaper than a laser, and more useful in some cases. This will allow you to measure how far away something is from a wall in comparison to something else. For that use and for vertical reference, I really like this unit. It made my garage door trim rebuild easier.The 2 mounting methods are nice. The magnet is pretty strong. The Bob is hefty and works as advertised.
