For Delivery Plumb Bobs

In building projects, accurate measurements are essential for structural integrity. Browse our selection of measuring, leveling and marking tools to find products that will help you ensure accuracy every time. For establishing vertical or plumb lines, a plum bob, or plummet is ideal. With the aid of gravity, a plumb bob will help make sure you get the correct vertical reading every time. Plumb bobs are suspended on a string or line to mark the perfect vertical. They can range in weight from a few ounces to several pounds.

Use of Plumb Bobs

Plumb bobs are precisely engineered and weighted for perfect balance. Most have pointed tips. The plumb bob is attached to the end of a heavy string, usually of cotton or nylon. The plumb and weight are then allowed to swing freely. When the string stops swinging, the plumb bob will indicate the location of a perfectly vertical line.

Materials

Plumb bobs can be made from a variety of materials, including plastic and different types of metal. Our selection of plumb bobs includes steel and brass options, in weights ranging from eight to 16 ounces. Steel tips provide maximum durability. Should the tip of your plumb bob become damaged, accuracy could be compromised, so make sure to replace it in a timely manner to assure perfect results every time.
