Wow! I ordered some checkering tools on Thursday at 3 PM via email, and they came this morning in the mail! All the way from Washington state in less than 48 hours. So glad this (established in 1945) company is still in business, 'cause the cutters I've had for years are worn out (my bad...tried to checker metal with them ...LOL...). Guess kudos are due the USPS, too...
