Default Purchasing Tools in Canada

Folks,

I am interested in purchasing a torque wrench (3/4 inch drive) capable of applying approximately 500 newton meters of torque (something like 380 ft lbs give or take). There are some great buys in the US on North American made wrenches on the web but not all of those companies will ship to Canada.

Are you aware of any vendors in Canada who sell North American made tools? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Lyndon

There's Snap On Tools who make excellent torque wrenches,although you will pay a significant amout more but they stay calibrated longer than the "cheaper " brands !
I own two of them in 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive and wouldn't change them, for anything ... I'm in the aeronautical industry and that's also what we use at work,in very large sizes ... lol

Cheers !
Phil

i'm guessing they're for center locks? or for the half shaft nuts?

snap-on if you want to spend close to a grand on one. princess auto if u want to get one that can prolly do the job for 150$.

husky should also make one.

EDIT: wildcat beat me to it. BTW i see you're based in montreal. Do you work for CAE by any chance?
