It does its job well enough. Though I don't know it inwas doing something wrong or what though just melting lead in it didn't seem complicated. Anyway, I was not able to get 4 pound weights out of it. It would over flow make a mess, burn things. But making 3lb weights and below, top notch. Didn't come with inwith instructions though how hard is it to melt lead. So the main issue. It was hard to get the weights out,so do some research on a way to do it. We used weber grill spray. Everything came out easy with a few taps from a hammer. When I was beating the weights out without the grill spray, I ended up cracking the aluminum. Luckily my neighbor was able to weld and repair it. Since I got it back and started with the grill spray and keeping everything 3lbs (1.5kg) or below with the spray it's been perfect. If I had known that before hand, 5 stars. Hope this riverview helps.

Broke after 2 uses. Comes with no instructions or link to website with instructions. Lot of money to pay for cast aluminum

I was a little skeptical at first but once I began to use it, everything fell into place. Great product to cast your own weights. Solid made

A bit overpriced when considering its purpose and build but hey, it still cost less than some 5lb weights a lot of shops are selling. Pretty darned durable, and fairly easy to get your consistency in weight. Highly recommend purchasing some Frankford Arsenal drop-out release spray to make the going easier (check Amazon). For me, it was worth saving a load of cash for my wife and I's weights. I ended up purchasing a bit of plastic-dip spray for coating the raw lead (for both myself and the environment, nice guy that I am), and it turned out alright, though I would recommend the actual dip over the spray methinks.

Did not work well fo me could not get the weights out of the mold

Works like a champ. Releases best when mold is warmed up, let lead slightly set. Also using a dry release spray.

This item works well if you make 5 lbs weights. This item works well if you make 5 lbs weights.

Had spare lead laying around and just got into scuba...instead of paying an arm and a leg for additional lead I just bought this a poured my own molds...my divemasters were inpressed. The only thing I don't Like is it has a pointed edge instead of a rounded one on the backside, but nothing a hammer can't fix...would recommend!

Needs a good set up to get good results. Some said the mold should be keep hot, that's true, otherwise, when you pour the lead, it jams in the mold. Keep it in mind when you will do it.

Really simple. Only thing would be nice if it had a wooden handle

after the 6th weight the aluminium handle snapped and took half of the mold with it. made nice looking weights up until this point. customer service issued a full refund so that was good.

This mold will pay for itself several times over in one afternoon!!! If you are comfortable casting lead (yes, this can be dangerous) you will be able to transform scrap wheel weights into useful diving weights in no time. I have made enough 3-4 pound weights to last me a lifetime in just a few hours.

this mold was real easy to use if you have any exp. in melting lead the only down fall you need to have a hot glove there to use it. other then that it is a nice product.

This mold was a lot of fun - if you like work projects - great project for a Saturday off. I melted 2 old lead batteries on my propane colman stove with a couple old pans and made 40 lbs of dive weights. Has a little learning curve but overall so easy a caveman could do it. Pretty difficult to get precise weight but I got a good assortment. I tried several times to fill completely full and never got a weight over 3.8 lbs.

Cast about 80lbs worth of weight with this already. Works like a charm. Best to cast one weight first to warm it up, then do the real run. Takes about 5 minutes to cool if you put a fan on it. Only issue is that it can be a little trick to get the weights exactly to the pound, and not over or under. I just weighed everything on a kitchen scale and wrote the weights on the lead with a permanent marker. Saved a ton of money over buying weights in the shop.

easy to expell weights from mold. recommend not rapping to hard when hot, unit could crack. draw back is not leaving a beveled edge on pour side. one should bevel to eliminate sharp edges.

Product does exactly what I bought it for. You need a good source of lead to pour, though, I'd suggest a minimum of 40 lbs of hot lead, and warm the mold thoroughly before pouring to minimize wrinkling. Also, a mold release agent, or a thorough candle smoking, as it takes 8-10 good hard raps against a solid object to get dive weights to pop out of the mold. Product is quite sturdy, and I couldn't ask for a better mold for the job, price was definitely fair, too. 100% satisfied with this purchase.

Worked very well with a Mold Release agent (Silicone Spray) Be very careful of the fumes, take proper precautions....

The mold is perfect. Preheat the mold while melting the lead (use caution and ventilation of course). We sprayed a little cooking-oil-spray into the mold and began pouring. Once we began pouring we were able to go through 100 pounds of lead truck weights in 4 hours. The mold has reference lines for different size weights. We poured 1.5, 3, and 4.5 pound weights. It all went very fast. After the "sheen" came comes off the lead (it solidified) we simply turned the mold over and the weight dropped-out If the weight wasn't perfect we remelted it. If the weight was stuck in the mold we remelted the lead in the mold and poured it back into the melt pan. This mold could make thousands of weights easily once you get into it... Of course care and safety must be taken as everything is very hot. Welding gloves and fresh-air ventilation are a must.

Used one of these originally but it developed a crack through the handle and bottom of the mould. Had to discard it.
