Stanley 47-973 8 oz. Brass Plumb Bob

The Stanley 47-973 8 oz. Brass Plumb Bob is used to establish a true vertical reference for layout and transferring points. It is made of solid brass with a polished lacquer finish, and the replaceable hardened steel tip gives a precise point that can be swapped out if it is damaged. An extra tip is included. The screw top secures the string line, making it simple to attach and adjust. The 47-973 is backed by a Stanley limited lifetime warranty. The 8 oz. weight helps the bob settle quickly and hang steady on the line, which is useful for transferring layout points from the ceiling to the floor or checking vertical alignment. The replaceable tip means a bent or dulled point does not end the life of the tool.

Stanley 47-973 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the tip on the Stanley 47-973 plumb bob replaceable if it gets bent or dulled?
Yes. The 47-973 uses a hardened steel tip that unscrews and can be swapped out, and a spare tip ships with the bob. A dropped or dulled point does not retire the tool, which is the main reason layout crews pick a brass bob with a serviceable point over a one-piece cast bob.
2) How do you attach the string line to the Stanley 47-973?
The top of the 47-973 unscrews. You pass the line through, seat it, and screw the top back down to clamp it, so you can adjust the drop length without knotting the line to an eyelet. No line is supplied with the bob.
3) What is the Stanley brass plumb bob made of, and will the finish hold up on a jobsite?
Solid brass body with a polished lacquer finish, and a hardened steel point. Brass will not rust the way a plated steel bob does, and the lacquer keeps the polish from dulling in a tool bag. The steel tip carries the wear because it is the part that contacts the surface, and it is replaceable.
4) Can an electrician use a plumb bob like the Stanley 47-973 to drop conduit and fixture locations?
That is one of its normal uses. Drop the 47-973 from a ceiling mark to locate the point on the floor, or reverse it to carry a floor layout up to the deck for hangers, fixtures and ceiling grid. It also checks vertical alignment on a run of posts or studs. Stanley lists surveying and site layout among its uses as well, so the same bob covers framing and grade-stake work.
