As I need a new hand torch and some other jewellery tools I need your recommendation regarding a good online supplier.

Hi,

I asked the editors which suppliers they recommend for buying tools online, and these are a few they suggested:

Contenti (www.contenti.com)

Otto Frei (www.ottofrei.com)

Stuller (www.stuller.com)

Rio Grande (www.riogrande.com)

Indian Jewelry Supply (www.ijsinc.com)

Thunderbird Supply (www.thunderbirdsupply.com)

There are other suppliers out there, and I hope members of the forum community will add their own recommendations.

 Sincerely,

Good suggestions from the other post , I would add Cooksongold http://www.cooksongold.com/category/Jewellery-Tools/ to the list of suppliers. 

Worth mentioning if your buying a torch make sure its adjustable - yellow flame for gentle heat, blue flame for instant & directheat.  Plus makes sure its got the valve on the handle to adjust the flame, allowing you to operate the torch with one hand whilst holding you piece with the other.

My favorite tool supplier, A to Z, doesn't have a website. Yeah...bummer. They're in the Jewelry District in downtown Los Angeles. They carry just about everything and their prices are great. They have a catalog and they will ship. They've always been extremely helpful to me.
