Can I still get the old-fashioned skate lacing hooks with wooden handles somewhere on-line? I’ve been searching but only find ones with metal or plastic handles. Thanks, Shibb PS If you know of a place that sells them but not on-line that would also work. ---

Wow. I guess they don’t make them anymore. I don’t have time now, but I can take a look through my old equipment bag and see if I may have an extra one. ---

[QUOTE=adam yax] Wow. I guess they don’t make them anymore. I don’t have time now, but I can take a look through my old equipment bag and see if I may have an extra one. [/QUOTE] Thanks, Adam Yax. I actually want to find a supply source for them. We use them for something else (it would be hard to explain, but it’s nothing nefarious). ---

[QUOTE=twickster] Sez you. [/QUOTE] So sez I. We get a similar tool from a company to repair their (crappy) machines. They want $20 per “tool”. It’s worth about $1. The one Adam Yax linked to is great, but the shipping from Canada is $38 on their website. The phone rep told me $8, so I still may be able to go that way. I’m also looking for the same item from a USA based supplier. ---

Hockey world sells them too but are out of stock. Item #2448 The site says that the prices are in US dollars. [http://www.hockeyworld.com/prodHome.ihtml?pid=2448&catID=51&shop=1](http://www.hockeyworld.com/prodHome.ihtml?pid=2448&catID=51&shop=1) ---

I have them ordered on back order. Much better shipping price. Thanks again!
