I really liked this whisk. Feels heavier than most 8 pounders, probably due to the weight of the handle. Punches for 10. Expensive but worth changing after a few buttons. Don't worry about breaking the head, otherwise it will come off when you break the pins on the iron. Losing a star due to the fact that the handle is quite slippery and requires duct tape work, which I tried to get rid of with the built in "grips".
