Gray Tools now at Canadian Tire

[JradM]

When I first noticed, I got excited - but much like Canadian Tire's Wera and Knipex offerings, everything is full price and then some. Doubtful we'll see any sales either.



They don't seem to be in-store. If this is online-only I suspect it's just another sales channel for Gray, more product listings for Canadian Tire. Maybe with shipping fees baked-in?

I realize Home Depot does this too. But does anyone actually buy tools this way?

I think Home Depot does this too, or did.

Old timers will tell you that gray tools were in Canadian tire once upon a time.

More and more of Grays tools manufacturering going off shore anyways, so this guy can’t justify the prices that they charge.

Cool. Petty sure Gray was an Oem for Mastercraft back in the days well

Be nice if they were in store. Are they actually stocked anywhere?

I guess I'm an old timer. I actually bought them a couple of years ago for the novelty. I have a SAE set and boy they are crude and ugly. They have a small Canadian flag on them.

If/when I buy Gray tools I go direct.

Bolt Supply in Calgary had them stocked last time I was in there a couple years ago.
I imagine quite a few industrial suppliers carry them.

Some supply houses carry them. At the very least, they could order them and do a return if you don't like them.

I recall them in Cdn Tire years ago. The last time I bought was from online, I get emails all the time from Gray announcing what is on sale.
