Brass Plumb Bob has solid-brass construction for durability and rust resistance with a replaceable, long-lasting hardened steel tip. The screw top simplifies attaching string to center of plumb. Features through hole for easy tightening. From the Manufacturer Polished-lacquer, solid-brass construction is durable and rust resistant. Replaceable, hardened steel tip is long-lasting. Screw top simplifies attaching string to center of plumb. Thru hole ensures easy tightening. Review: Beautifully machined and polished - Beautifully machined brass that works much better than the rock on a string I used to use. Buying a real plumb bob seemed like an extravagance until I needed to find the center of mass on a 24 inch round table top I bought from Lowes. I suspended from three points along the circumference and dropped a plumb line from each point. Marked the intersection then tested by balancing the top on a nail head. Worked beautifully. The shape of the bob made it settle very quickly. The point made it easy to see when it had stopped swaying by comparing with a mark on the floor. Choosing the 16 oz size for this application made the string taut enough that I could mark it without a lot of deviation. Attaching the string was easy, it would have been nice if it was included in the package. Review: excellant replacement - high quality. ## Features - Polished-lacquer, solid-brass construction of the plumb bob is durable and rust resistant - Replaceable, hardened steel tip of the plumb bob with string is long-lasting - Screw top simplifies attaching string to center of plumb - Through hole for easy tightening ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009VM9GS | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #483,143 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #40 in Plumb Bobs | | Color | Brass | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (226) | | Date First Available | November 9, 2006 | | Finish | Brushed | | Included Components | STANLEY - 47-974 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Item model number | 47-974 | | Manufacturer | Stanley | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 47-974 | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Dimensions | 8.7 x 11.4 x 1.5 inches | | Size | EA | | Style | classic | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime | ## Images ![STANLEY Plumb Bob, Brass, 16-Oz (47-974) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41w4VuKPrxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it come with string?** A: No, it does not come with string. **Q: Is it made in the USA?** A: I believe it is made in Taiwan ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully machined and polished *by D***R on July 21, 2014* Beautifully machined brass that works much better than the rock on a string I used to use. Buying a real plumb bob seemed like an extravagance until I needed to find the center of mass on a 24 inch round table top I bought from Lowes. I suspended from three points along the circumference and dropped a plumb line from each point. Marked the intersection then tested by balancing the top on a nail head. Worked beautifully.

Actually, it even came with a SECOND hardened steel tip as well! The one I received looks exactly like the main picture, not the customer's picture. I guess they may have made two subtley different shapes, but it doesn't matter to me, because I bought this tool to use as a plumb bob. My only disappointment is that the plumb bob I received was Made in Taiwan, so if you're looking for tools that are Made in USA, this probably isn't what you're looking for. It hangs perfectly vertical, and that's all it needs to do. The package even helps you out with a little picture showing how to tie a good knot in your string to attach it. The top unthreads, you pull your line through the hole, tie the knot it shows, and thread the top back on. I think this 16oz plumb bob is way better than the little 8oz ones they seem to sell almost exclusively at most home improvement/hardware stores. It hangs straight and settles very quickly to accomplish everything you need a plumb bob for. The only reason to get a heavier one is if you do a lot of big projects outdoors in high winds, in which case you probably don't need an Amazon review to tell you what plumb bob to get. ;^) If you need some line, I'd recommend Stringliner 24162 Pink Braided Line Pro Level Wiz Line Reel which comes with a handy reel and line level and is Made in USA. If you're using a plumb bob, you're sure to have other reasons to have some dry line [mason's line] handy anyways! ## Frequently Bought Together - STANLEY Plumb Bob, Brass, 16-Oz (47-974) - Gammon Reel 012B 12-ft (3.6m) Red Cord with Hi-Vis Target for Construction - Bon Tool Gammon Reel Surveyors 12 ft. --- ## 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.pl/products/9052479-stanley-plumb-bob-brass-16-oz-47-974](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9052479-stanley-plumb-bob-brass-16-oz-47-974) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
