Abbey Tools in Canada (Toronto)?

I'm considering the Lever Setter but wondering if there are any local sources in or close to Toronto.
Shipping from Abbey direct is $25 USD even with the 15% Black Friday discount, a $35 tool becomes more of a $100 tool after all is said and done.

Anyone find a shop that carries around the GTA?

Not too many places carry the tools in stock. Orange Sport Supply in BC is the distributor that we use to get tools in the shop from Abbey

They sell thru Amazon too and have free shipping (no black friday deal though, AFAIK): Lever Setter

Not sure how this works with Amazon Canada.....or if they can ship to Canada

Orange distributes them, and they’re good people. Go into your LBS.

Just order more tools to amortize shipping.

The chain whips and crombie I have are great, the 4 way hex is a useful, but not the best tool for the job, but handy.

If I had to cut chains on a regular basis, I'd have the decade tool.

Only tool I am considering is the pedal wrench, but since I already have one that works hard to justify the expense.

This is the obvious answer!

We don't have any consumer facing partners in Canada. There is Orange Sport in North Vancouver but they only sell to shops at this point. We've talked to a couple of outfits to set something up that's a better consumer fit but haven't found a good fit.

If it would help, you could send it to me and I'd turn it around for you. Shipping to me is $6. Google swears it's another $4 to get it to you (figuring 2lb), but I'd think $7 is more likely

Thanks Makoti.
Appreciate the offer.
I just ended up pulling the trigger and buying it.
