Bought this on special for a task (compacting FCR under garden walling) and when it arrived the "postie said" thats heavy. He was right, but couple it up with the hammer and its definetly a young mans tool and its considerably heavy to move around OK when on the ground as "you can drive it around" pretty easy to use but you definetly know you have had a workout. Quality is excellent with precision castings for good presentation and handling.
