Hi I'm new here, I've been to THAK and bought a Picard hammer (Nice hammer!), calling him works best and yes THAK is the coal supplier for Home Hardware.
Most of the tools I have from the States I get family to pickup for me while they are there so no shipping or high UPS bills..
I try to make most of my own tools which is slow at best, but I am not a pro and in no rush.
