If you want tungsten as a novelty instead of tools, you won't find it cheaper. I wish I could write a review about it as a spacer, but that's not what I bought it for. When he falls from head height, he breaks bricks, pierces tin cans, and holds papers well. It's also fun to just hold and play with. I don't know if the outer layer is stainless steel or tungsten, but the mass feels almost entirely or entirely tungsten.
