Just make sure they're tungsten and not tungsten alloy.

nofear, I believe most tungsten sinker are alloys. Tru Tungsten I believe are 97% tungsten. But I guess they could be less tungsten and more of something else.

Right. while 97% is technically an alloy, my meaning is don't fall prey to adds for tungsten stuff that is 30% tungsten and for all intents and purposes, feels just like lead.

I bought $20 of tungsten alloy earlier this year. It wasnt what I thought it was, it was like lead. Yes, caveat emptor.
