Take a look; 2.87 ounces.
The Tru-Turn I bought after buying this pig is on my Kaos, and I'm not going to pull it to weigh it; but it was noticeably lighter in the hand. I got the scale some time afterward, BTW. And this a 2.25"; that's what goes on a Kaos 40.
I've had this thing for several years. After trying to get five bucks for it at a swap meet, I couldn't even GIVE it away. The "finish" you see is after some polishing on a lathe with a Flitz cloth. The backplate is still rough as a cob, but this digital camera doesn't have enough pixel count to really show it.
The walls of this spinner are almost twice as thick as the Tru-Turn.
I'm glad some of you are satisfied with your DB product; I'll never buy another one.

I got the 1.5oz from Towers website

Knowing Tower they are probably wrong, but since you say your spinner is old it is possible the the newer Vortech spinners weigh less than the old ones. The wall of the spinner in the picture from towers site looks rather thin. Is that that your looks like?
