Did you know that the gears were "Assembled in USA"? Probably the reason behind the cost.... Go go gadget globalization.

Mr. Ruler sez that the 120 tooth gear's PD is 3.75", and its thickness is 0.25"-ish.

Mr. Scale sez that the 120 tooth gear weighs 114.71 g / 0.25 lb. (in its thin plastic packaging - didn't want to mess up the shiny finish).

Mr. Scale also sez that the 4" wheel weighs 117.24 g / 0.26 lb.
Did you get a weight on the 80 tooth gear? Or would I be close enough by extrapolating it from the 120 tooth?

By extrapolation I'm guessing the 80 tooth gear is 76.47 g.
