        A:  There is a knob on the top that tightens when turned. It is very secure. It does not come with string.

        A:  I attached the plumb bob to a chalk line by running the chalk line through the top of the bob and used the threads to secure the free end of the string. Normally, I would have run an ordinary line through the top of the instrument and tied a knot before screwing on the top.

          A:  At the top of the bob, there is an attachment that screws into and out of the bob. Once unscrewed, you can thread and then knot a stringer through the hole. Then, screw it back into the bob. Mine worked perfectly.
