'k, I've been toying with the idea of making a seismograph using a
plumb bob, a pan of sand, and a wooden structure from which to hang
said bob.

Cut to page 3: A Veritas P724 PLUMB BOB!

A handsome tool made of brass with a stainless steel tip. And an
aluminum holder, with a rare-earth ring magnet to hold the bob in
place. Am I missing something?

I'm thinking they're bringing their April's Fools Tools out early.
