26g for the set. I carry the little 5g tool with me.
super light. super low profile (very aero). They seem super strong, but I'm a small guy. They can be tightened much more aggressively than quick release, if necessary.

I'm a fan. I take my front wheel off a lot for transporting, too.

I use these on my TT bike. If I get a flat on a TT, there is not going to be anyone around to hand me a wheel and make a quick swap, so a "quick release" feature is not needed. When I nab that spot on the UCI Seniors Tour and have a team car following me for TT's, I will revisit my choice in skewers.
