Default Canadian woodworking tool websites?

www.kmstools.com
www.busybee.com for budget priced tools
there are more.... I have dealt with all of these except sawshop.
Don't bother ordering from US sites unless you absolutely can't find it in
Canada, although there are a few rare exceptions. The shipping cost alone
will drive the price above the Canadian retail price in most cases. If you
do order from US be sure to specify US Postal Service. They normally dont
charge brokerage but ONCE IN A WHILE they may ding you 5 bucks... seems to
be a random charge. If the store send it by UPS or some other courier
service, the carrier automatically slaps on a minimum brokerage charge of
about $35. Duty is usually 6% .

I'm looking for websites to research Canadian prices on woodworking tools.

So far I have found:
www.houseoftools.com
www.leevalley.com
www.thesawshop.com
www.bosstoolsupply.com

Are there any others?

Also, do any Canadians out there have experience with ordering from
www.rockler.com or www.woodcraft.com? What is shipping/duty/brokerage
like? Do you know of any other American sites that ship to Canada?
