My new one is very crisp and best as I can measure, about 3 3/4 pounds, with almost undetectable creep and little overtravel. For some reason, when it breaks, the overtravel doesn't happen until I take it up, if that makes sense. I'll get a lighter spring for it, from Ernie or the hardware store, but it's perfectly usable as is.
My other Hawkeye has the two-stage, which is a peach.
