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.

It is heavier than I would like it to be. I thought it would be lighter when I ordered it. I was accustomed to my previous drill which was much lighter and the only one I'd owned. It's ok but overall I will be getting a different drill.

I will tell you exactly how much torque it (craftsman bolt on 20v, same tool, diff color and label)makes because I just tested it today, And it is way below the advertised 1300 in lbs. I broke loose one lug nut on my vehicle , I held the trigger until it would turn no more with a fully charged battery. It only made 40 foot pounds which is about 460 inch pounds according to my brand new digital torque wrench. I will say this, the Bosch 12 volt impact I also own made the same Torque. Neither impact would drive it past 40 foot pounds. the 20 volt just did it 3 times faster. I will say this, the speed of the impact attachment when put on the power handle is very serious, more than twice what the drill attachment is. again I am commenting on the craftsmen but its the same tool. The impact will drive 4"x 1/4" lag bolts into a six by six treated post very quick. I actually did a test between the 12 Volt and the 20 Volt just to see the difference and again the 20 v is three times faster. however it's also much larger and not something you want to use when replacing small hardware which is why I opted to get a 12 volt. This however does not have a light which is nice once you get used to having one. Porter-cable makes a nice impact 12/18/20v all very reasonable with an led light.

This drill feels real light and is easy to handle. I don't beleive it weights 8.4 lbs, I would guess about 5 lbs.

Charles I have not weight the jack but if I recall the shipping weight was around 35lb??I am hitting road soon and this jack fitted my needs due to weight and the way it comes apart. I have been using it at home and it is the is the best jack I have ever owned. Greg Johnson.

ITs very light, not sure the exact weight. Your money is better spent on the Dremel version of this tool. This one is cheaply made, doesnt hold a charge very long, and I already had to have mine replaced once. Buyer beware I guess.

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 shipping weight is probably over a pound. The unit is very light and is less than a pound. Are you referring to shipping weight or the unit itself?

I work as a mechanic and have a bunch of tools. Not many are required from what I remember. But the purpose in my saying so is to point out that I am fairly handy to begin with. I also believe it requires 2 people to set it up. I did the entire thing myself. It is heavy to maneuver alone, but I'm the wannabe superman type. All in all I was done in about 1.5 hrs I believe and that's with me repairing a few sections of trim that were damaged during shipping. So maybe medium difficulty I would say.

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 don't have a scale that will measure something this light weight, but it is a very light drill. I would not be surprised at all if it weighed in at one pound.

They probably mean with the charger, spare battery, etc?? It may weigh a bit over a pound, but it is not 4lbs. by any means. I don't have a small scale, but I'd say it weighs about what an average claw hammer weighs.

Hi, The manual says that the tool weight is 1.0lb(0.45kg).Nothing is mentioned about with or without battery. Too me the battery is very light, not an issue All the guys that work in the shop use cordless drills or pistol type cordless screwdriver. This Hitachi is a hell of bit lighter. I never feel fatigued using it and I use it for long hours. I can't weigh it since it's at work to confirm. When I get back, I'll try to weigh it Hope this helps, Take care, Frank

The item description says 9.3 lbs. I can only say it seems a lot heavier than my previous (smaller) tool box. But then I am smallish guy.

I am not certain I understand the question, but I will attempt to answer it. Suppose you want to torque a bolt to 45 foot pounds. The shaft of the torque wrench has an engraved scale for, I believe, every five foot pounds. Turn the handle until the edge of it reaches 40 foot pounds and the handle has consecutive numbers engraved on it starting at 1, 2, 3, etc., finally stopping at 13. Reading the engraved numbers on the handle, turn the handle until 5 is facing you. You are at 45 foot pounds. The lowest reading possible on this torque wrench is 25 foot pounds. The torque wrench also come with an owner's manual explaining its use and care. I hope I have given you the information you needed.

I didn't buy the 15 pound pick-up tool. I bought the 9 pound tool, but it does pick up 9 pounds. I am really happy with this super handy item!!
