The Plane Screwdriver Progress Tracker

PAGE UPDATED 20/01/2025

Thank you for your order! 

We will be chronologically working through your orders and dispatching them from early-mid January. Whilst the product descriptions and pages suggested that we would only begin production in January, we're actually well ahead of the curve and should be on track to get them all to you sooner than we expected.

Also, you'll be pleased to know that unlike the mallets (that we're still waiting on material for), we have 95% of the materials for the plane screwdrivers already in the workshop. So we're able to get manufacturing them immediately.

If you have any questions about your order, please don't hesitate to message us at rob@mattestlea.com with your order number and we'll get back to you ASAP.
