7gallon Aluminum Air Tank from Northern Tool weighs 7lbs

[Dean!]

This thing is crazy crazy light.... It's all aluminum, has air gauge and air chuck and carrying handle.

I ordered it from Northern Tools and was told it was on a 45 day back order, so I called and CANCELLED it.

I found it locally in Lewisville.

WELL, today, the back order that was cancelled over the phone, shipped.

So now I got this air tank I cancelled coming my way - sure I can send it back and reverse the charge, but rather than deal with the hassle... anyone need an air tank for autocross/track duty that is SUPER LIGHT.

I want this because my silly 12gallon steel tank weighs sooooooo much. (Likely 40 lbs)

This baby is crazy light, I can bring it to whichever DuckFast gathering there is or whatever....

Paid $89, sell for $89

It sounds neat, but I'm trying not to spend money on stuff I don't NEED.

We weighed it last night, but I'll let Dean reveal the results.

1. Jeremy's head weighs 11lbs
2. Jeremy's head and helmet weigh 14lbs
3. The aluminum tank weighs 9lbs, but feels lighter than that (seriously)
4. The 12gallon steel air tank was 26lbs, but due to size, feels MUCH heavier than that, like 40lbs, but the scale says 26lbs (Like carrying 3.5 gallons of milk in one hand)
5. A stock Evo Enkei? wheel and Sumitomo tire are 44lbs
6. My roommate Ryan weighs 184lbs with his clothes on
7. My roommate Ryan weighs 178lbs with his clothes off
8. I wish we hadn't tested #7
