How much does this tool weigh? I've read the unit weighs between 35 and 70 lbs - that's a significant weight distribution for one item. I want the weight of the tool when it's ready to use, not the shipping weight. Thanks for the help.

Fran. Bought this about a year ago. The weight of the tool is (guessing here) about 40 pounds. It does not weigh 70 lbs or even close. You need a certain amount of weight to bring to bear on the tool tip. But it does get tiring after a day of wrestling this around breaking up a patio. Love having this though. Renting something like this in this area runs nearly $100 per day. This paid for itself in two uses for us. Good luck.

This tool has an 18 volt battery. This makes it very heavy to hold for a long time.It would be better if it had the 14.2 or maybe the 12 volt battery. I have used mine once and now it sits in it's box in my tool shed. Think twice before buying this tool.

I have small hands too and I just grip it like any other tool (4 finger grip with thumb holding side). I don't find the weight to be a problem at all. I don't have a clue how much it actually weighs though I would guess no more than a pound if that much.

I'm not sure of the actual weight. But it feels light. I use it for cutting PVC pipe in the field (irrigation systems, swimming pools, etc.) from 1/2" to 4". It is without a doubt one of the most useful tools I have. I use Bosch exclusively for my cordless tools, all of which I have bought through Amazon. I highly recommend it.

You are right, the shipping weight must be wrong....I would say the unit weighs about 35lbs....good catch. Great machine, luv it !

I don't remember the weight. It was listed with the item. It wasn't that big a deal to put together. My husband is handy and has the right tools. I would think exporting it by pieces is smart. We really like it.

This is the bare tool. Mine came thoroughly wrapped in plastic in a shipping box. There was no product packing other than the plastic wrap.

It weighs around 10 pounds, and I don't remember what tools I used but they were very basic - like a screwdriver and pliers. I do really like the piece. Hope this helps.

Roger, Mine did not. It was in a box w/ instruction manual included. I read the answer some one uses it to sand floors with. The practical use for this tool is torqueing nuts and bolts or breaking torque. They also said it was too heavy. It's a heavy duty tool! They sound like a wimp to me! I highly recommend this tool! It supplies 345 ft. lbs. of torque. It's a Hoss!(Badass, etc.) Hope this is helpful. Yours Truly, Kenneth....

I don't know the exact weight. But it's very light and very useful. It's palm size so it doesn't like a regular driver but you can use it a small job and even a small drill job on a drywall or plywood. You can go to a homedepot and try it.

Unless you ordered a hammer a tool kit with this, it's NOT 7.1 lbs. This is a mis-posting on the page. Try checking out with it and I'm sure you'll find they aren't charging you by the ounce based on this weight.

Attempted to weigh it, and I come up with something around 2.5 lbs. for the upper (dark colored) motor/grip part attached to the blade assembly (the long, lower metallic piece). It is substantial feeling but pretty easy to handle. You could (and should?) use two hands while operating it.

The advertised shipping weight is 10.4 lbs. That's probably correct as mine is just over that with the driver/drill bit kits I've added.

I couldn't tell any difference through handling. I threw my two old dewalt batteries away so I can't give you an exact answer with weight but I am very happy with its performance. The drill has long run time with each battery charge. It is like having a brand new drill

I think it is light in my hand. I don't know the weight specifically, but of course you can check the specifications for that. I have an old corded Makita 3/8" drill and I was pleasantly surprised to find that this cordless version feels much lighter. I expected it to weigh more due to the battery, but it does not.

I havent weighed it but its pretty light weight for a B.O.B. I carry it around all the time. It might be the same weight as a framing hammer but no more than that. Its not noticeable at all.

It weighs 34 pounds with the chisel bit. This tool works surprising well, especially considering its relatively modest price.
