tool shops in Europe

Hi all,

Maybe this question has been answered before:
Can anybody recomend any on-line shops for wood tools/supplies in Europe?
I have in mind something like Leevalley.

Thanks for the help
Andreas

They've just got a new one - an improvement certainly.

Axminster in the UK, Dick or Dieter Schmidt in Germany.

That would be because it's rubbish!

They've been told, but they just don't seem to appreciate what makes a
good on-line site and why it matters.

I'd agree with that, but the OP did say Europe.

I concur for those two, tho' I don't like Axminster's on-line
catalogue.

I would also add to the list... Lee Valley itself ! With the current
rates of exchange of European currencies to the US dollar, you may
well find that it (and the Japan Woodworker) offer the best value for
some things, even allowing for shipping and VAT. Moreover, in my
experience, the latter is not charged systematically on smaller
orders. And Lee Valley's service is unequalled.

This is the only one I know of myself: http://www.dick.biz/ (don't be afraid,
just click it!) They're in Germany. I am in California. Europe is a rip-off!
