What is the weight of the entire kit?

Can I use this for heavy-duty shop work?

Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism feels stiff
Clean the ratchet head with a degreaser and apply a light layer of cycle-specific lubricant.
Bit falls out of the magnetic holder
Ensure the magnet is clean and free of metal debris that might interfere with the magnetic contact.
Chain tool pin is hard to turn
Ensure the chain is properly aligned in the tool channel and apply a small amount of chain lube to the tool threads.
