I have not been able to find through google any makers of tools, i am specifically looking for hot cut chisels, punches etc. and rivet tongs and forming tools. All those advertised are made in North America where the postage costs are similar to the product costs. Any pointers anyone?

thanks

Do a search with UK at the first of the search line.

Have you tried Daniel Moss? He makes tools in the UK and have a pretty good YouTube Chanel.
