VINTAGE CRAFTSMAN BRASS 16 OZ PLUMB BOB WITH GAMMON REEL & CASE

VINTAGE CRAFTSMAN BRASS 16 OZ PLUMB BOB WITH GAMMON REEL & CASE. What does it do you ask well the tool has ancient origins. Evidence suggests that Egyptian architects used plumb bob-like tools to establish verticals in constructing the pyramids. (It’s also thought that, in tandem, they used flooded ditches to determine levels.) Plumb bobs may weigh as little as an ounce or as much as several pounds, depending upon the application. For most home toolboxes, I recommend having a single bob that weighs a few ounces. As is so often the case, it isn’t how fancy the tool is, but how well you use it.
