Seen in this old house

When Tom Silva visited this old house he used one of them when he put in a new door. Great tool. I'm glad I saw this episode when I ordered it for myself.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • faint

Excellent plumb for machines

This thing is great for leveling. I use it on big machines and it helps us level everything very quickly and efficiently. The thing is very high quality processed, you can feel it in motion.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Some trouble

They are accurate and reliable.

I use them all day when fixing wires on elevator tracks. Most people in my line of work have started using them and we all love them. They won't survive a 100ft fall (learned the hard way), but they can't take anything. Very happy.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Obsolete Model

Not without an out. the best measuring and marking tools

Excellent quality like all Tajima instruments. As a home renovation business there are so many uses for a plumb bob and this one does the job perfectly. If you install a door jamb after you learn how to do it with a plumb bob, you'll never use a spirit level again.

Pros
  • everything is fine!
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Easy to use and delighted with the automatic ejection mechanism

Recommend to others. Used a self-hanging nail in hard-to-reach places. The self-extracting worked like magic, making it easy to line up spots for light jars on the floor to later cut them out with a drywall rotosip drill bit.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • ---

The best plumb bob, measuring and marking tool

One of the best plumbing systems. A good compact why keep the solder and assemble everything together in one neat package. Very accurate and easy to use thanks to the retractable spike that allows you to attach it to any surface that can be nailed. Self-tightening leash with a simple pull. Built to withstand workplace abuse

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Good idea, must be MUCH stronger.

Used this brand in our class but this must have had a defect or be made cheaper than what we have. I was looking forward to this as I'm a carpentry student and didn't expect the dowel pin to just pull out and get stuck in the wood after a few uses. Cheap things won't last long at the hardware store.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Tajima PZB-400GP Plumb Bob 14 oz

Tajima is like Bosch in Japan, they make great instruments! Here's a great example! This plumb bob is great for hanging doors. If you work with metal studs, the base will be magnetized! If you're working with wood, it has a dowel pin that you just hit with a hammer. The tension is adjustable and the line is 2 inches. I definitely recommend it!

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Clean

The perfect solution to the door height problem

This is a quality tool with all the bells and whistles. You no longer have to carry around a six-foot-long magnetic spirit level and try not to damage it when calibrating. This fits in a tool bag and withstands all stresses. Stretching the cord to a specific length is a breeze. it does exactly what you want. Also comes with tension adjustment, scaling from ultra-smooth action with millimeter precision to a firm hold at the length you stretched it to. My teacher has had one of these for over 15…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
