Won't roll away on flat surfaces, made well and holds extremely still with well pointed nose down. Rust resistant but I gave it a coat of WD-40 Specialist to insure permanent resistance to corrosion. The string is long enough for most applications. Would buy this item again.

I had a cheapo chrome plumb bob for years, and found this one on sale and knew I had some layout work coming up, so I bought it, it is much easier to use and more accurate because the shape allows you to see the point more easily than the one I am going to put on a table at the garage sale, which is flat sided except for the last 3/4 inch, making it more difficult to actually look down at the point, which is the business end. Until I used a good one, didn't know there was a difference. I don't need one all that often, but it is so pretty, makes me want to hang it up in the house somewhere, maybe on a beaded brass chain.... until I need it again. ;-)

Very happy with it. Needed a replacement for my transit, due to the loss of the other one. Is actually better than the original one
