Where can I buy high quality imperial tools?
Discussion
I've bought basic hand tools like digital vernier calipers, rad gauges, plug gauges, calipers, digital height gauge etc all from Amazon and then had them calibrated at work. Most of the digital versions have a setting to switch from metric to imperial too, I use them for first offs in machined Aero parts inspection. I even got a fancy borescope for those hard to reach places and surface tester for less than £100!

You can buy online. I buy loads of stuff from their website. You don't need to find a van.
Really? Ill try again, couldn't find anything earlier ahaAre you looking for just mech tools or sheety gear as well? Yardstore.com is a good spot. eBay, of course. Britool / facom do imperial stuff, I've got a set of 12 point quarter drive sockets from Britool that, Imo, are as good as my snap on set. I'm an ex contractor and if you need any specific stuff, I might have a few spares lying around, although I was more of a sheety then mech. Also try connie tooling on Facebook, he does a lot of gear, full sets if you need it.

Fill your boots mate. Metric, Imperial or even Whitworth if you need them.
