Calling all cable wranglers out there.

Can anyone help me with the weight of a full 100m drum of 6242Y? I ask because I have no option but to roll up at my local supplier and collect a drum during the week. As I am not in my first flush of youth (now there's a statement) I cannot remember just how much one weighs and if it's going to overtax me, I'll have to ask the counter hand to oblige and carry it to rear of my Pathfinder.

Has the approx weight per km so around 6.8 or 7 kg I expect.

Ain't Bing and Google wonderful.

7Kg is on the heavy side for an old chap such as me. I'll be asking the counter hand to carry it out for me. T'other end I'll have my sack barrow, so mot much sweat.
