Is the listed 10.4 lb item weight accurate for the cord? Is it much different from an equivalent cord from other manufacturers?

Yes, most likely it is. This is a heavy cord. 10.4 lbs might be an understatement. I used to use yellow jacket cords until they started making them in China. This company is still made in the USA and seems to be indestructible.

I've never weighed it but it seems accurate. I would say it's weight is average amongst other cords.

I never weighed the cord and carry it coiled a a 5 gallon plastic bucket but 10 pounds sounds about right. Although the cable is large in diameter it is very flexible, coils easily in my bucket, and does not tend to kink or tangle. The only problem I have encountered is that it is slightly too large in diameter to lock into the cable keeper on my Greenworks lawnmower.

It is a very heavy, industrial grade cable weighing at least 6 lbs. I wouldn't be surprised to find it weighed more.

I agree and don't remember the weight - I still have 30 feet of it. The spool it came on weighs about 4.5 ounces and with the 30 feet wire, it is about 1 pound 3 ounces. It really is nice wire - wish I had 10 more feet as I need 40' to run to one of my speakers. I need to check if it comes in 50' quantity.

It does weigh a bit. My husband screwed mine into the wall. I would not use a nylon cord as it could break. I love using this board.

No it's not 10 pounds! It probably weighs 2 or 3 at most! You should be fine!

No--it is not that heavy. I can't say for certain how heavy it is, but I helped hold it up while it was being installed and I would say it's in the 10 lb range.

I just physically measured mine. It is basically 7" x 5.5" x 2.5". Not sure on the weight. Pretty sure it isn't 4.4 lbs. though....maybe if you include the cord and cable.

I looked everywhere for an official weight but couldn't find one. It is very light to carry around campus, maybe a few pounds or so. Also, the power cord is quite light - it is a single unit with a small plug (but good length). It is definitely as portable as computers go. If I can find an official weight, I'll let you know.

Not sure. Pretty heavy-same or better than power cords for my office equipment.

Um, I don't know. Does not seem any different than any other thin cord I have.

I don't know, but I would think it should be on the product description. It is not very heavy, maybe 10 pounds.

Mine is 5 lbs 10 oz with lid on and 4 lbs 4 oz with lid off. Conveniently, the lid by itself weights 1 lb 6 oz, so I suppose I have a somewhat accurate, or at least consistent scale.

I can't say for sure if that is accurate, I can say that it "feels" a LOT heavier. However, having said that, my wife will use it constantly on our 43 acre farm and go through 2 batteries at a time, and each one last a long, long time and the weight is not to much for her. I think it balances very well, the string seems very durable and those batteries really hold a charge and recharge very fast. We are very happy with ours.

I'm not sure of exact weight, however, it is heavy to push. The cord is very long, which is very helpful, but adds to the weight.

john, I never thought about the weight. It is not large or heavy. Would have been nice if the cord was 6-10 inch longer. Satisfied with the product.

I have checked it with 10lb weights and it did register correctly, the only issues I have is that with something heavier such as myself, it does not register the same weight consistently....

It is light. I cannot handle heavy things and cannot pull a cord for gas powered equipment. BUT, I would NOT get this one - I have always gotten the 12 inch until this one and I am extremely disappointed in this because it does not cut well and the cord does not automatically advance like it is suppose to.
