The 16 oz. mug is a good example of this. The 8 oz. plumb bob from Stanley A replacement tip is included with the plumb bob, which is made of beautifully machined brass. I went with the 8 oz.

It does not appear to be the same as the picture, as many other users have stated. It's a little longer and thinner than in the photo, but it did the trick for me. I wish it came with a nylon sheath or something, but I was happy with it for the price.
