I think part of the trick in selling ‘forever tools’, at least for a place that doesn’t solely specialize in it, is doing so as a...

That is a good question. I can say it wasn’t dead stock. The production date on the 1000g hammer I bought was fairly new. And same...

I am a huge fan of Osca, too. The nylon handle machinist hammers especially. I can understand that people probably differentiate on...

There must be a complete refresh of the hammer offering coming. Even the Powerfist stuff has cleared out a lot recently.

For speed? Or for a particular application? I have managed to stick with propane for now. But I haven’t had to solder anything bigger...

one store I had shopped in carried Royer. They said that at least some models were assembled rather than made in Canada. Some local...

I’ll try to report back after a little use. I have worn Justin cowboy boots for years. And my work boots have been Red Wing 3507’s for...

Going to put this here as the defacto Canadian purchasing thread. And because most people here know that a good price on a great...
