🔨 STANLEY Plumb Bob, 16-Oz (47-974) - Brass Construction for Enhanced Durability Review

16 oz version. The magnet sticks (as expected) to the steel tip but not (as expected) to the brass body. All threads are very well processed and centered. Doesn't come with a string. Supplied with a spare tip.

My old iron solder disappeared more than a year ago and never came back. Finally I decided to look for a replacement. I read the reviews and ordered this brass. At such a low price, the workmanship is impeccable and it hangs perfectly flat for its weight; exactly what a solder should do. It is great.

I also have an 8 oz brass and an 8 oz styled. 8 ounces isn't enough for the wind, even behind the plastic tarp covering the porch. Don't worry about 8 ounces. Take 16!

In fact, it even came with a SECOND hardened steel tip! The one I received looks the same as the main picture, not the customer's picture. I'm guessing they may have made two slightly different shapes, but I don't care because I bought this tool to use as a plumb bob. My only disappointment is that the…
