Midwest Tungsten Service Cube - 2" - Free 1" Cube with Purchase

I’m going to individually review the 1” and the 2” tungsten cubes that came as part of a sale.Both the one and two inch come in a great package. It feels unexpectedly (but still realistically) heavy for its size. Then you open it up and there’s a smaller box. At this point you start to think “huh, that’s dense”. You open up that box and realize that all that heft came from two little boxes. Amazing.The one inch cube is strange. Even though the density is indeed very high, the weight itself isn’t heavy enough for your brain to REALLY go “wow, how is that so heavy?”. It’s satisfyingly heavy though. I don’t know how to describe it, it just feels nice to hold so much weight condensed into such a small space.The two inch cube is completely different.Even disregarding its size, it’s still pretty heavy (not something you’d work out with or anything, just something you’d pick up and say “that’s a chonky boy”), so the effect is MUCH, MUCH stronger. The first time I picked it up it was like an entire epiphany, realizing this ISNT EVEN THE DENSEST ELEMENT. It never gets old. You’d think after holding it for long enough it’s insane chonk wouldn’t be novel anymore, but literally every time you pick it up it suprises you with its superior strength.As for the durability, don’t worry. At all. If you think you’re gonna drop this thing, then you should be worried about the ground you’re dropping it on. Although pure tungsten is very brittle, MTS made an alloy of a few different metals that makes it much more resilient. It doesn’t tarnish or rust, doesn’t break, doesn’t bend (it’ll probably bend your hammer though), and it’ll probably outlive you. I’d recommend putting this thing in your will because it’s probably going to end up as an heirloom for generations to come. Everything seems light, airy, and hollow now. This cube changed my life, and it’ll change yours.

Also es ist schon grob (tatsaechlich kein reines Wolfram) was drauf steht. Verarbeitung ist auch okey. Hatte mir bei all den begeisterten Bewertungen deutlich mehr versprochen. Das Gewicht ist letztendlich, witzig aber nicht beeindruckend. Der Preis ist dafuer deutlich uebertrieben und steht auch in keinen Verhaeltniss zum Materialwert (und andere Kosten sind ja kaum vorhanden).

Alors déjà, c'est super bien amballé, rien à dire !Ensuite, la masse volumique est assez sympa, proche de l'or effectivement... on a presque du mal à soulever un si petit cube :)La finition est pas mal du tout, et livré avec un mini support pour poser le cube sur un des coins, c'est nickel... enfin tungstène !

My son is absolutely delighted with this item, he is not really into buying things so when he started talking about getting this with his savings we did go ahead and buy. The additional smaller cube was a nice touch and he gave that to his brother.Sign of a very honest seller - here we are 6 weeks after my purchase and I've just received a small refund due to "customs fees being reduced". A+ service!

Best was opening the box - it comes in a four-and-a-half inch cardboard container that is satisfyingly heavy. On opening the box and removing the first layer of foam liner, the top to the cube is revealed and the realisation that all the mass of the package is concentrated in that smaller volume is wonderful - it was definitely the best way to show it off. The cube is beautifully finished with great precision. Absolutly no disappointment.One use might be as a fund raiser - wrap it in decorative paper, or make a wooden casket, and have people pay to guess the weight. They don't get to hold it unless they pay for a guess. At a well-attended event, word will spread that it's worth a go. Split the take - between the closest guess (in grams) and your good cause. It might be a good idea to have an everyday object - a large tin of food with the gross weight given so that they have a comparison. It will only work once, of course, or people will remember the winning mass from last time. And don't tell anyone what is in the mystery package, or they'll go online to research the answer.
