String must be replaced never stops spinning. Review: Very nice, high quality and lots of brass - 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. ;-) ## 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 | B00004T7TI | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 434,914 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 44 in Plumb Bobs | | Colour | Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,117) | | Date First Available | 7 Dec. 2011 | | Included Components | General Tools 790-8 Hexagon Steel Plumb Bob, 8 Ounce | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 9.07 g | | Item model number | 790-8 | | Manufacturer | General Tools | | Material | steel | | Part Number | 790-8 | | Product Dimensions | 21.92 x 8.26 x 8.1 cm; 9.07 g | | Shape | shape | | Size | 8 Oz | | Style | Hex Nickel Plated Steel | | Usage | specific_uses_for_product | ## Images ![General Tools 800-8 Brass Plumb Bob, 8 Ounce - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61T0lbfQVLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plum Bob good!
