Default Can My Hubby Take His Tools As Luggage

just sorting out things to ship over with removal company and thought about hubbies tools, if we ship them it will take about eight weeks to get there! Is there anyway he can take them as excess luggage with us on the plane? and if so any ideas how much it would cost?
The main things he needs are as follows, the rest can be shipped!
Cordless jigsaw, cordless drill, corded dril and a toolbox with handtools.
Thanks everyone

Why don't you air freight one single box? those tools will take up some weight of valuable luggage.

How do you send by air freight - any ideas please? Is there one particular company that does this or do all airlines? Any idea on costs as well?
Thanks Jo

buy a box and post it using parcel force or an airline. Your packers will offer the service too. Check online for prices. i will be doing the same soon too hopefully!

My wife said under no circumstances should I get my tool out at the airport checkin desk. I'm still confused as to what she meant?

Excessive baggage charges will cost you a fortune - ship them using alternative methods.
