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.

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.

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

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?
