Tool shops in Europe

[a***nc83]

Hey guys so I am about to head out for two weeks will be in France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. I was wondering if the locals would suggest where I can get some good quality tools from, would be great to do some tool shopping.

I can personally say I'd look forward to walking into a store with a full line of Facom tools.

Have fun.

Approx. 20km/12miles away from the Frankfurt airport (Germany), there is the company Rüger.

Lol guys, i was planning this a while, was waiting on my fiance to clear her work schedule, just as she did, two days before that, i was able to sell two of my toolboxes (I was able to pick up four of the $0.01) toolboxes.... Soo it all came together, I wish I could do something for a few people... Like one item for the first 10 or something..... But luggage weight is tight... Are bessey clamps by chance cheaper in Germany?

If you're ever in the NY city area, give me a call and stop by....I keep over 2200 Facom items in stock and pricing is cheaper than most of the online UK dealers. Here's the current inventory and pricing...see http://www.ultimategarage.com/Facom-Inventory.xls . SD

Oh, trust me, man, I need a towel under my face when I cruise your website.

BTW, the link on your site for page 3 of the home garage/design article appers to be broken.

Actually, that's not a bad question. Lately, the Euro has been falling in relation to the dollar. So you might see if retailers are willing to offer a higher exchange rate for your dollars than banks. They have a real fear of collapse there.
