That's because they're the last three things that were made in England.
The British museum want's them.

That's pretty funny, but very true. Kind of reminds me of what we have going on here, but at least we can still find domestically made products.

If you cant find the stanley check out Visa Tools Leeds, they are the last UK manufacturer of hammers, they purchased Footprints hammer production line in 2008 and offer a huge range of products and ship world wide.

Yes, for now. That's changing fast.

Thanks for the info about Visa tools, never heard of them before. There is one other UK specialist hammer maker:

They don't do ball peins, though they make fantastic soft faced hammers, 3 of which I have.
