790-5 Steel Plumb Bob, Hexagonal, 5 Oz
Description
A plumb bob is an essential hand tool for establishing true vertical lines in construction, carpentry, masonry, and home improvement projects. The General Tools 790-5 uses gravity and a weighted bob suspended from a cord to help you achieve precise vertical alignment when framing walls, installing drywall, hanging shelves, checking door frames, or laying out structural elements.
This steel plumb bob delivers the accuracy and durability needed for jobsite use and household tasks alike. The hexagonal shape prevents rolling and keeps the tool stable when set down, while the 5-ounce weight provides reliable gravitational pull for consistent vertical readings. The nickel-plated finish resists corrosion, extending the tool's service life even with regular use in varying conditions. At 3-3/8 inches long, it's a convenient addition to any toolkit.
