Testing
They have been tested at least 5 times after grinding, if they didn't work, reground and retested. Then tested one more time after bending and needed to work the first time. If they didn't they were reground and retested to work the first time at least 3 more times. Ie, they were tested A LOT.

Finish
Sand blasted

Material
14 gauge (if I recall correctly, this is thicker than the standard stainless steel switch tools) titanium

Cost
$35 ($30 for the special one shown in the second picture)
I'm not going to get into it, but a LOT of work has gone into these and the material cost is obviously quite high.

Shipping
CONUS - $6 small priority flat rate box
International - $11 small padded envelope (large envelope, 4oz, rigid, 1/4" variation in thickness)

I'm currently waiting on envelopes and boxes needed for shipping.

Payment
PayPal goods only. I will PM you with details, do not PM me! Post in this thread to indicate your intend to buy (or if you want the "special" tool shown in picture 2).

EDIT: That is assuming that the $35 dollars is for a pair. If it is individual then I just want one.

Can you give a  brief run-down on how they work? Is it only for pcb mounted switches(hitting the bottom plastic to top off the cover)?

insert the tools into the switch top and squeeze. It works on PCB mounted switches and plate mount as long as the plate supports switch top removal

As far as I can tell the special one has a defect on one of the tool handles.
