    I didn't notice that they had that under the specs. I don't pay much
    attention to weight, but I'm just about certain that they're wrong. I
    carry it and it doesn't feel much heavier (if any) than a set of three
    plastic tire levers. It's just plastic.

    Er... guess I was wrong... just found it on crankbrothers.com, and they
    also claim 31g. I have a hard time believing that.

    BTW... here's a better explanation of how it works... the picture
    doesn't begin to do it justice:

    Ah, OK!

    You both mistyped 310 grams!

    SMH

    Ugh... OK... grr... he said 2 lbs, and I just mentally went ~32 oz, yep,
    that's two pounds... <red face>

    Yeah, 31 grams is VERY LIGHT. haha I knew that there was no way that
    it could be 2 lbs... but then thought it's been so long since I've
    needed it that perhaps I was wrong!

    Erm... 31g is just over an ounce!

    Oops. Right. It's been too long since I've had to weigh drugs and I
    guess I did too many when I did weigh them. Right, 16 oz in a pound.
    454 grams. That's better then. Never mind. I'll order it now.
