I used these nomics for maybe a week total. The shafts were covered in electrical tape to keep them from being scratched but the rubber grip is a little dinged up on one tool. There is also a wrap of electric tape i left on the top of the rubber grip to keep it from peeling. The picks are older but still have life left (I always file off the black paint). I take paypal or venmo and am selling them for $320 shipped (add 3% if buying as goods and services).
