Product care instructions:
- Wipe after use: remove dust, splinters or traces of material to preserve the accuracy of the lead and the readability of the wire.
- Check the wire attachment: ensure that the nylon cord and the shock ring remain in good condition.
- Avoid violent impacts on the lead or magnet to prevent deformation of the shape or loss of magnetic strength.
- Store in a sheltered place: keep in a dry place to limit moisture or dust on the mechanism and cord.

Additional information

The Japanese plumb line is a traditional vertical measuring tool revisited with modern materials to offer accuracy, speed of use and robustness.
The heart of the tool is a 400g lead weight equipped with a shock-absorbing elastomer ring, designed to stop quickly (in about 6 seconds) and ensure a perfectly vertical line for your marking or alignment of fixing points.

The 3.5m strong nylon line allows you to work on high or deep surfaces without fear of the cord breaking, while ensuring stable positioning of the lead.

For implementation, this tool was designed to adapt to several platforms:
- Wood: thanks to a reinforced pricking pin, usable even with a hammer.
- Metal: thanks to a powerful integrated magnet which allows the plumb line to be temporarily fixed.
- Nail or wooden dowel: a specific groove facilitates attachment to these supports.

Equipment designed and manufactured by Shinwa Rules Co. Ltd, Niigata, Japan — a brand recognized for its precision measuring tools.

Expertise

Gaignard Millon

Expertise forged through workshop experience: we compare, measure, and test each item on various types of wood. Selection guided by cut, ergonomics, and durability. A standard confirmed by professionals: École Boulle, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay. As enthusiasts, we select only the best tools.

Workshop check & sharpening ready to use

Every tool passes through our hands before shipping: visual inspection, geometry, flatness, and deburring. If necessary, we sharpen it on a Tormek system for a consistent angle, and a clean, durable edge. The result: a tool that cuts cleanly right out of the box, with no time wasted at the workbench. Tested on wood, wiped down, protected, you receive a tool ready to work.
