I was just talking to the guys at stagestore.ca and got them in contact with Rob. They are now going to be carrying the tools for those of us in Canada! Awesome news for us Canucks! He said they are expecting to be able to have the tools in stock next week.

I emailed Rob and for those Canadians out there and this is what I got back.
"Here are two places in Canada who carry my tools.
MTM Equipment Rentals LTD - Calgary
403-276-1505
Roy Jackson
Roy Jackson Design
P: 780 967 0572
C: 780 293 0572
E: [email protected]
W: www.royjacksondesign.com"
So to recap, you can get Rob's tools at the aforementioned places.

As aforementioned stagestore.ca (Horizon Solutions) now carries the stagejunk tools, they just put them up on the site the other day (and I just got mine).

Sorry to bump an old thread.
I bought two of the flat tools and one ratchet tools...they are THE best thing ever. I usually have a couple of sound guys helping me rig, and they always take forever fiddling with their crescent wrenches. Now, I just hand out the two flats to whoever is helping and we get things done way faster. I bet having these wrenches cuts a half hour off my setup and strike times. They're worth it just for the shackle busters...getting the load straps off my soca at the end of the night while 30' up on a ladder goes way easier.
The ratchet I keep in my pocket...so much easier to cinch down the **** c-clamp yoke bolt and do a quick focus.
Picked them up from Roy Jackson (two posts up) and they were shipped fast. Great tools!

Well, I used the flat UFT yesterday just to try it out. No luck with the 7/8" opening. Either the clamp was way too tight or the FUFT is a little too loose on the 7/8" size. The FUFT easily slipped and I think it may even be slightly bowed out now. ON the other hand the 9/16 slot was a great addition to the lighting tool line up.
I'm not sure if those of you who attended LDI saw this, but Stagejunk has come out with a New Mini Flat Focus Tool. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but once I do I will make sure you let you know what I think. Also, you can now buy all of Stagejunk's tools at Full Compass. They are not listed on the website yet, but should be shortly.

My Flat arrived yesterday, and I should get the chance to play with it over the next week or so. My initial impression, though, is that it's built like a schick brit-house, and it ought to rawk.
Looking more closely at it, am I the only person who thinks that if it's ever gonna break, the break spot is right between the two sides, and *one more millimeter* of metal there would fix it?

That direct item link tries to download a page named whatever.cgi -- I infer Stagespot has their webserver misconfigured.
And I get a dotnetnuke error elsewhere. Yup; his webserver is messed up. Is the site brand-spanking-new? Wait. That error is from StageJunk, the former one from StageSpot...
Here's a link to Full Compass if wanted
