I wish I lived closer to this store.

Rod,

When initially viewing the title of this thread along with the original poster, I envisioned a link to Harbor Freight.

Cool place!

I have a Lee Valley store (not as cool as the old own in OP's link) about 5 minutes from work & I love the place. The prices are very competitive on commodity items that are available anywhere & fair of stuff that is unique to them. Customer service is always top notch & very friendly. Product selection is great. The only knock against them is that they carry tons of gimmicky things that look like a good idea but would just clutter up my shop. But I just don't buy them, so no problem.

Almonte is about a hour and a half drive. But more interesting is the new Lee Valley store opening in Kingston this fall, thats a fifteen minute drive.

What I wish they would come out with is a stainless block plane for site work. I carry a couple of Lie Neilsons in the truck and it is a constant battle to keep the rust off. There are some brass planes but they are too small.

Ha Ha, good comment.

After your visit I did go to Harbor Freight, it was just as bad as Princess Auto in Canada...............Regards, Rod.
