Lee Valley in general is a great merchant that sells mostly good quality stuff.

Very socially responsible too. From what I’ve heard, the owner only takes a relatively modest salary, pays reasonable wages and does profit sharing with for the employees. One of few places that I’ll go out of my way to shop, or pay a little extra because I know I’m supporting a good company.

At a fair price, too. They're not racing to the bottom or cutting corners on quality (at least for most things—I won't vouch for their $15 LED shop lights), but they're not gouging people either.

Depending on options their marking gauges are $45-100, for something a woodworker will use all the time.
