Amazon page quotes the weight as 5.87kg. Is this correct, because a genuine Record no.3 vice is 15kg?

The ORIGINAL Record No 3 vice which I own has a mass of 15kg. I know because I weighed it on digital scales. This new version is less substantial, for example the fixing holes are open whereas in the original the base is wider and encloses the holes. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some other cutbacks as well. Amazon currently states 500g for this which is nonsense, presumably they weighed it near the Moon! If 'all other outlets' say 12.5 lbs they should probably be saying 12.5 kg, or they are quoting the mass of a smaller vice in the range. This vice is in the mechanics heavy duty range. If this vice is supposed to be the modern version of the No 3 there is no way a vice of this size could have a mass of 5.87 kg. Machine Mart is wrong but not that wrong, they probably got data from the last century.
