mopar Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Can anyone recommend a mail order supplier of reasonable quality modelling tools? I'm after drill bits, files, a small vice, pliers, tweezers etc. All the usual suspects really. Any help greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted August 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2011 Squires will do all of those, however I tend to buy my drill bits from ebay avoiding the sets and buying packs of an individual size as and when I need them.

Lady_Ava_Hay Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If Expo tools are available mail order then they are a reliable source. DCC Concepts do a good range of the more unusual tools and are usually available through BromsMods on here. Then there is Eileens Emporium also on here but more a wider range of hardware related items there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dorset Wanderer Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Usually a tool/component stall at your local exhibition. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If Expo tools are available mail order then they are a reliable source... Expo are at http://www.expotools.com/ Mind you, ordering via the website is a little archaic, to say the least. First you look in the index for a link to a pdf of the relevant catalogue page, then you fill in the online order form by hand... Otherwise Eileen's and Squire's as mentioned by others.

Guest baldrick25 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 As well as Squires, can I also mention a trade stand I found at the Midland Railway Centre Railex this last weekend, HobbyHolidays who have the website http://www.hobbyholidays.co.uk/products.php?cat=9 Whilst I have only used their stand to purchase items, I found Phil, very knowledgeable and helpful- with a very wide range of items for scratch builders rarely found elsewhere. They do mailorder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
