Frequently Asked Questions

Lee Valley Tools has acquired Hock Tools. The transition is under way as they work to get a new Hock Tools website up and running and processing orders. 
Until then, please contact customerservice@leevalley.com with the Hock item number, and they’ll be glad to advise if they have it, or when they expect it. Note that pricing will remain the same, and shipping will be at no charge.
