• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Alrighty folks, @Dan Dubeau suggested starting a Made In/Buy Canada thread.
Obviously some vendors are going to sell goods made in the US but shopping in Canada is a start.
So here goes...

PicQuic screwdrivers

The Original Instant Multi. Is it the best? You decide. The original Picquic Professional or at-home use, the bit assortment you need most. Picquic, on a budget Shorter handle, shorter bits, nothing short

Post in thread 'Tools you waited too long to acquire'

I bet some of you here will laugh but one thing I wish I had got sooner is my Picquic screw drivers. I used to avoid multi bit screwdrivers like the plague because all the ones I had ever used were cheap flimsy and awkward to use ... until I discovered Picquics that is. I find they help with the chaos in my shop because instead of several screwdrivers on my bench I only need one and they are a great design. The bits can even be used in my cordless drill which makes them double handy. And of course half the fun is that they were designed and manufactured in CANADA!!! Never mind the pale...

I just bought two Canadian made table saw blades, they cost a bit more than the off shore home centre blades, but are far superior, IMO.

Petro Canada.

I’ve been a die hard Supestore gas guy. Love the 7 cents a litre off. But now they are Mobile.

Yesterday when I got gas at Pedro Canada I see they give 7 cents off per litre if you have an RBC Visa.

RBC is Canadian also, so I’ll be getting a card. Nice I don’t have to pay the extra for gas, but I was willing to.
