I suppose there's no such thing as a free lunch, so I shouldn't have expected much from this retailing at 5 pounds. all the same, I believe that the sellers have a duty to be as accurate as possible when selling goods.
I am a big fan of diablos, so when my old one broke, I was not looking for a beginner model replacement. after searching through a bunch on amazon, I settled on this one, which was specifically advertised as not only being a *LARGE* diablo, but also having "boxed weight of 939g". Lo and behold my disappointment when my product arrived- it was the tiniest one I have seen yet, as well as weighing a mere 250g- a fraction of that advertised.
now don't get me wrong, its probably a fine beginner diablo - it looks similar to those I have seen in shops- but the fact remains that the product description was grossly misleading, and led me to buying a product I had no use for and had to return.
