Quality Plumb Bob
Works just like a Plumb Bob should! Better than my laser in the sun.

The best on the market.
The best bob you can buy. It’s heavy, so you can’t kick it over easily. If buying, change the string when you get it, it’s cheap and snaps from the bobs weight

I like.

Nice for the price, but...
The exact position of the point is difficult to see unless you are viewing it straight from the side. It would be easier to see the point if the tip was drawn to a sharp acute angle it's entire length rather than being stubbed off and hidden unless you're right in front of it.
