None...
Happened to notice that Princess Auto is opening a new store in the McCowan/401 area mall (NE corner), next to National Sports. It used to be a No Frills grocery store.

As well as your broken tool collection :rolleyes:. You do know that Princess Auto tools are usually one time use only, right :D.
The only tool I've ever had break was one of those broken nut extractors, everything else has been solid!

I think Nigel means for the heavy duty users they are maybe one time use, for the rest of us driveway tinkerers they will last lots longer.

Went out there today, still well under construction. Staff at Sporting World next door said they heard that "they are hoping to open in a month but there have been a lot of delays".

Great - now that I'm not on that side of the city any more. :(

S'OK. The one in Kitchener is only ten minutes away... Last sale I bought one of these puppies:



So if anyone needs a wheel bearing or lower control arm bushing pressed in, head on over to Cambridge.
