Key specifications

• Quantity: 1 piece per pack
• Type: single-piece plumb bob for cord attachment
• Material: metal weight with pointed tip (solid construction)
• Intended use: vertical reference and alignment
• Compatibility: suitable for use with standard cords and lines

How to use

Attach a suitable length of cord to the top eye or attachment point of the plumb bob and secure the other end to a fixed overhead point. Allow the plumb bob to hang freely until oscillation stops and the point stabilises directly above the intended mark. Mark the contact point on the surface or use the vertical line of the suspended cord as the reference. When transferring points between levels, align the plumb bob over the initial mark and transfer the position directly below.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, use a thin, non-stretch cord and avoid air drafts while the plumb bob is stabilising. Keep the pointed tip clean and avoid striking it against hard surfaces to preserve precision. Store the plumb bob in a protective pouch to prevent damage when carried in a tool kit.
