There are two predominant suppliers to the trade. One is Allied, The other
is Ferree's Tools, Inc. in Battle Creek, MI. Ferree's has a stronger line
of tools, and Allied is stronger in repair parts. Ferree's also purchased
the Erich Brand Co's remaining stock (wasn't much left!)and now publishes
the EB repair manual, a book that stands the test of time.

Allied Supply Corp. P.O.Box 288 Elkhorn, WI 53121 800-558-3226

Ferree's Tools, Inc. 1477 E. Michigan Ave., Battle Creek, MI 49017
800-253-2261

Ferree's started my account over the phone; Allied required a catalog
request on letterhead. Both are great companies with excellent customer
service.

Best Regards
