Heck, that's above the weight limit for *checked* baggage on some airlines - I've had to pay excess baggage a few times. These things are tools, not pets. They have a nice Pelican case to travel in, and they are insured all-risks. If the airline breaks or loses them, I'll replace them. No big deal.
