I guess most people here know about Lee Valley and their legendary service.
I was wondering if there was an equivalent store for electrical tools and machinery.
My experiences with the "after-sell" service of local retailers around here hasn`t been all that good.
There is no equivalent to Lee Valley for electrical or hand tools. They are in a league all of there own.
It would sure be fun if there was. If only it was so.

I bought a 1/2 inch Milwaukee right angle drill from Home Depot. The gears stripped... and I took it to my local motor repair place. He said that "This is bullsh*t, you shouldn't be able to do that" - and fixed it for free.
I've since bought two new 5HP TEFC motors from him for my compressor and jointer. Expensive and heavy, but I know that I can count on him for good service and immediate help. Check out your local motor repair places first and possibly ask around with tradesmen to see what they can do.
Hey Rob Lee, how about a "Veritas Power Tools" division ? ;)
You'd best take that up with the next generation....
