Tools

Solid metal is heavier than it looks — that's the whole category in one sentence. Hammers, wrenches, and drills pack their mass into small volumes, and most players guess them too light.

The reverse trap exists too: modern cordless tools and aluminum ladders are lighter than their bulky shapes suggest. Density is everything here.
