Never heard of PLVMB before this forum, got a buggered up ratchet body (no mech) in a auction lot for free.

Hope this isnt to sacrilege for some of you:evil:

Are you sure you want to share that proprietary information with us? I mean you are the first to catch the bottle cap with a magnet....

I like it.

Thanks!

I have a magnet problem, I ask myself in every project:

"should I add magnets to this"

Certainly not sacrilege as it was broken and I assume beyond repair. Besides it isn't a pebble finish. Plus when you tire of it you can sell it on ebay as a rare Plomb bottle opener for big $'s:lol_hitti

I like it!!

Plus you are the first guy I know that has a magnet problem:willy_nil

Thanks guys, it was inspired by Diresta/

Pretty fun to watch, lots of good ideas.

And....magnets rule. Once you start incorporating them into projects it never stops.

Could PLVMB be a fancy way of using V instead of U for PLUMB? Just asking but nice work and repurposing.

There are some experts on this forum when it comes to PLVMB who I am sure know the answer. I would bet on it, ahead of their time if so.

The correct spelling is Plomb. At some point they incorporated and upside down triangle for the o. And during a certain time frame it was right side up.

Plomb is not the same a Plumb tool company. Plumb sued Plomb in 1946 I believe and won and Plomb became Proto.
