I just double checked. The "gear wrench" brand that I have (5+ years
of use with no issues) is listed on Amazon for 45$ us:

Considering how weak the dollar is these days, I should think they'd
be a bargain to folks in Canada, Australia and Europe. If the issue is
availability I'd be happy to help folks by ordering them and shipping
them over, but I'm willing to bet Amazon will be cheaper.
