I have imported them from Canadia in the past with some success.

That's where I was getting them,but you're only allowed to import one set every two years.I managed to smuggle one out last year when I was in Vancouver,almost got nailed in Denver!! Next set,I'm going to import on my grandson't name,since I used up the rest of the family already...Man,I just gotta get my mechanics to stop using them a chisels...

Don't tease!
I'm a lefty. What are the chances of running across a lefty metric adjustable wrench?!?! Happy dance!

For the record I shy away from the Canadian metric left handed screwdrivers because I'm annoyed by their minimum length requirements.

You can skip the metric adjustable if you can find a bi-lingual all-sixteenths wrench. They can be found and they're worth looking for.

Actually if you go down to Home Depot and in the plumbing aisle you can buy a bucket of steam. Put your gun inside, even if it is still assembled and it will get steam cleaned that way.
