A plumb bob (sometimes referred to as a plummet) is one of the oldest, most fundamental tools in surveying work, dating back to the ancient Egyptians. Even today, they are the basic tool for determining verticality with respect to gravity, used to place an instrument over an exact point in space to accurately set markers.


  • Use a high quality plumb bob from Grainger to help make sure structural walls and doorjambs are vertical, to line up points when surveying and for many other jobs where establishing a true vertical is required. Shop here for brass and steel plumb bobs in a wide range of weights, with and without strings.
  • 6-inch Outage Plumb Bob. For use with outage oil gauging tapes. All plumb bobs are machined and manufactured in-house from solid brass. The eyelet at the top of each bob is precisely machined for accurate measurements. Marked plumb bobs have clearly defined black graduations for reliable and effortless readings.

A plumb bob (sometimes referred to as a plummet) is one of the oldest, most fundamental tools in surveying work, dating back to the ancient Egyptians. Even today, they are the basic tool for determining verticality with respect to gravity, used to place an instrument over an exact point in space to accurately set markers.

Extra points, caps, and leather carry sheaths are sold separately.
