20 ft. Orange Line + Suspension Hook
Ships with 240 in. of low-stretch, high-visibility orange braided line and a steel S-hook at the anchor end. Hook the line to a joist, a header, or a nail; drop the bob; mark the point directly below. Line coils inside the body under the removable cap so the tool stores flat in a pouch and pulls out ready to swing.
Removable Head
Threaded steel cap unscrews so the string anchors at the body’s stake-eye. No knot at the cap, no tangle reeling out, easy to swap a fresh line.
Plated Steel Body
Solid plated steel holds full 8 oz. weight after years of jobsite use. Cast-zinc plumb bobs lose mass at the tip; this one stays true.
Rust-Resistant Plating
Plating sheds rain, drywall dust, and concrete spray. Toss it in the tool box wet, pull it out true at the next layout.
