I heard from UPS.  They will be delivered today.  I won't see them until I get back to San Mateo probably at the end of the month.  Nice pictures, was it on your iphone?  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Dominick,

YES, I used my iPhone for the quick pics.

Since you won't be down in San Mateo for a month, how bout I'll stop by your home, pick up YOUR ::) set of screwdrivers and send it to MO65!!!!

He was hopefully expecting a gift set in the mail!!!!!!! ;D

Let's do a Dominick-handcrafted & homemade Cappicuno and raisin danish when you return.  For sure.

You got it.  A handmade Capistrano or whatever you mean.  :D Mo is such a good contributor to the site I was tempted to send them to him, but I resisted the temptation.  Sorry Mo. :'(   Dominick

If Mo (Mike) doesn't have a set of these coming -- I would send him one of mine.

Let me know guys -- as soon as you figure it out.  😂😂😂

Sort of like watching a high pop ball fall to the ground -- while the left, center, and second baseman all watch it -- expecting the other guy to snag it -- we don't want to be those guys.

Maybe Mike already has a set on the way?  Mo??.

I would really want to pick up a set of those screwdrivers. But unfortunately they charge $27.09 for shipping (UPSPs Priority Mail) to Hawaii.  :o

That is still only around $6.50 for each driver.  And a comparable set from Brownells is considerably more -- by perhaps nearly 2.5 times...

It is good to look at the whole picture.

IMO.

The packing makes the item bit big for the one rate boxes,
As Fred said it is still a good deal,

I will check if I can fit the drivers in the smallest one rate box.

Haven't thought about it that way and most of my screwdrivers are all Craftsman. Time for a couple of new screwdriver sets!  ;D

   The strangest thing happened today. In the mail I received a package containing the fantastic Bald Eagle screwdrivers. The odd part...was that Dominick's address was scratched out and mine written over it! Thanks Wayne! Sorry counselor! ;D
