From the Manufacturer 8 oz. Brass Plumb Bob Review: Safe on eyes - I bought this Swanson Tool Co. PB008B plumb bob to install recessed lighting. I’ve been using a laser level, but there have been a few close calls climbing down the ladder and almost looking at the beam. This is reliable and the 8oz seems to be a good weight. It’s heavy enough to hang straight from the ceiling. After a couple of taps, it settles almost immediately. The preinstalled string is a bonus but tangles easily. If you need a solid vertical reference this is a great buy.

Additionaly the lead in your fasteners (nails, screws, anchors, etc.) all has trace amounts of lead in them. Zinc, lead, copper nickel - they all come out of the same ores and rock strata. **Q: I want to use this to level the Reticle in my scope?** A: It will work with some patience. One would need to put your rifle in a holder al have it absolutely vertical. Then place scope in rings appropriate eye relief. Hang the plumb bob as far away as possible. Line up rifle and scope with string. As one tightens the rings keep the scope vertical reticle centered on the string. It might be easier to have it professionally mounted or purchase a device specifically for this purpose. **Q: How wide is the 8oz. version at its widest point?** A: 1 1/4” at its widest point. **Q: Is this made in usa?** A: Hi Ian, Our 8 ounce brass plumb bob is manufactured in China.
