The last time I had something shipped over from the US the postage cost more than the thing I was buying and then a $25 dollar import tax was slapped on the top of that!.

It's more cost effective to make you own sand-o-flex. Try a search here as it has been written about a lot. You can also make eye tools by hollowing out a metal 'thingy' with a dremel grinder. Again a search should explain or someone might chip in with a definition of 'thingy'.

Cheers

Try and find someone with a metal lathe
I did and he made one for me(eye tool) out of a bolt, just round off the hex bits and then concave the head and make sure the side is tapered, a little bit of trail and error and you should get there
