Thank you - if you're successful I'll have to ask myself how I failed so badly...

These sell Klein bags.

I e-mailed them for a UK agent contact.

Nice Job, Bludall

Talbot, please post your expereince in sourcing these and about the tools themselves - be interested to hear

I should have been a private eye!

I've also e-mailed a jewellery making supplier in Wilesden that sells Klein tools, they may have a contact in the UK.

That really is amazing - thank you! I'll check them out this morning

I'm gutted to say that neither of the above are Klein Tools retailers. They can arrange large supply chain systems involving Klein among others, but I can't just buy some Klein Tools

I'll give them a call Monday night and nail down the facts. Thanks for all your help

try Flee bay
list of Klien Tools in Business & Industrial with shipping to the UK!

Listings under Home and Garden too! with shipping to the UK!

The dollar rate is too good to ignore and the brand seems big 'over there'!

That's a shame! It was worth a try. At least you know now. I hope the companies return my e-mails. A shame we don't have a USA member that could phone them directly and ask for a UK supplier for you. It'd cost us a fortune!

How did you get on? Did you track down the tools in the UK?
