Been using it to make lead and aluminum ingots.

I use these to cast ingots from scrap aluminum and copper to cast items with later. They work well for both metals, at a price that's competitive with or cheaper than similar units I've seen online. I plan to purchase more as my needs dictate.

I bought it for a gift for someone. They already put it to good use and have no complaints

I like these little molds. Unfortunately one of them cracked and split in the middle of a pour. Resulting in a small molten mess. But, I am not sure it was the molds fault. I did preheat them as I always do but I may not have heated it enough. For the money though they are worth it. I would probably buy another set but I don't have a crucible large enough to make it worth it.

I've seen few reviews about these cracking after a few pours. I'm new to this, but I'm wondering if users are preheating before pouring. That seems like it may be a reason for the cracking/breaking. I consider these "consumables" and will need to be discarded or crushed into graphite powder at some point. I'm just not sure what's considered a reasonable amount of "consuming".The picture with the copper bar is after about 5-6 pours and it seems to be working fine for me. However, I'm not sure what the expectation should be. Likewise, I'm not sure what the expectation is for the price point. Seems to be a decent price for what I've found out there.Explanation on the mold with the broken corner: It was my first pour for aluminum. I did 2 copper bars and they came right out just fine. They basically slipped out. However, when I went to dump out the aluminum, they didn't want to come out. One came out after a few taps. The one in the mold with the broken corner was being really stubborn and I got a bit rough trying to get it to release. Well, the picture shows what happened. I've done aluminum pours since and I think it was because I didn't let the first ones cool long enough.One other thing I should mention: These are listed as 1 kg molds. That may be true for gold or silver (I don't know). However with copper, when filled, will net about half a kilo (or a little over a pound). Even less for aluminum. Not a complaint. Just something to keep in mind if you're not already aware of that fact.Overall, I'm fine with them. I'll use the one with the broken corner for any remaining copper left over after I fill any other molds I have or get. I can always remelt it another time.

Not at all what I was expecting, they are very small. However I am sure they will do what they are intended to do. I will at least be able to create a few brass bolsters and butt pieces for knives, but I will be limited due to the small size of the ingots.

It retains heat like crazy. Wasn’t expecting that. Great and durable!

Used for some copper and aluminum and after a few pours they still look as they did, no breakage or deterioration that I can see. Seems like they'll last quite a while I'm happy with the quality but they need to be treated pretty delicately.

works good just takes a few mins for ingot to release as it needs to cool some first

I used this as a hobby of mine, melting scrap metals ie; copper, aluminum and gold and making forms.
