Torque converters are heavy
It was 47 pounds shipping weight for this bad lad. What the heck? Anyway, it's a 12" converter from an S10. I'm just like hey yeah this thing is heavy.

Before I knew any better, I saw a convertor laying on the ground while taking a walk through the 'yard...decided to give it a little kick...I won't do that again anytime soon.
