We have been ordering different variations of these pulls for quite some time. The 5" (128mm) pull has always weighed 2.9 ounces, as shown. We received our latest order and discovered that the composition of these pulls has been substantially changed, despite the fact that that Item Number (and likely, the UPC Code) have not changed. The new variants of these same pulls now weigh only 1.24 ounces. While the 2.9 ounces of the previous pulls we received were certainly not considered "heavy", the weight was passable, and the pull was a decent value. The new variant's weight is so light, it does not even feel like metal. It is still listed as the zinc being the primary material, but we find that incredibly hard to believe. A zinc casting will weigh two and a half times as much as an aluminum casting with identical geometry. If these new variants are metal at all, we suspect they are aluminum, because a metal object of the size cannot possibly weigh only 1.24 ounces and be made from zinc. The bottom line is that these pulls now feel incredibly cheap, and it is certainly not worth spending even this amount on something that feels so cheaply made.
