Yup! Seems like they are a popular surprise in the BOC this time around.

Safeway: My wife wants one and I intended on giving the other to my sister. If she's not interested it's your's.

At least your air nailer is more durable than a video card... Someone shipped me a x800xt I got from ebay packed in somewhat used paper towels stuffed in the smallest envelope possible. Either way... it worked... but then died a few weeks later :laugh:

I thought it was hilarious!

As long as you didn't use the cereal as the padding. Though I never got a damaged toy from those boxes.

haha, what a cheap ass seller, make sure you leave the appropriate feedback "got the nailer, thanks for the bonus golden grahams"

Looks like a packing job some of our computers come back to us like from our remote offices. We received a desktop in a huge box once with a couple rolls of paper towels still rolled up.

That was some good cereal. I used to get it in mid 1980's and I guess it was discontinued sometime in the 80s or early 90s.

Disclaimer Travis: I do not pack anything I ship like that. Just letting you know that pneumatic tools can take a beating.

QFT would you like you nailer wrapped in a little diaper next time.

You do realize tires are shipped without boxes at all...just in case you order some in the future.
