Busy Bee Tools: Proudly Canadian Since 1976
For nearly 50 years, Busy Bee Tools has been a Canadian-owned and operated business, serving makers, woodworkers, and metalworkers across the country. When you shop with us, you're not just buying tools—you’re supporting Canadian jobs, Canadian communities, and a company that understands your needs.
Why Buy from a Canadian-Owned Business?

Your Dollars Stay in Canada
Every purchase at Busy Bee Tools helps fuel the Canadian economy, supporting local jobs, small businesses, and Canadian manufacturing partners.
Canadian Customer Service & Local Expertise
We know tools because we use them. Our team is made up of experienced professionals who understand the needs of Canadian makers. Whether you need help choosing the right machine or support after your purchase, we’re here for you in Canada—not an outsourced call center.
Built for Canadian Workshops
Our exclusive Craftex & Busy Bee private-label machines are designed with Canadian makers in mind, offering great quality, tariff-free pricing, and unbeatable value.
Price Stability in Uncertain Times
We understand that rising tariffs and economic uncertainty may put a strain on Canadian businesses and consumers. At Busy Bee Tools, we are monitoring the tariff situation closely and will do our best to mitigate any cost increases that may come from tariffs on tools we purchase from the U.S. Prices are very fluid right now and may be subject to change at any time, but we remain committed to offering the best possible pricing and value to our customers.
Shop Online or In-Store – The Best of Both Worlds
With retail locations across Canada, you can visit a store, see the machines in action, and talk to our experts in person. Prefer online shopping? Our website makes it easy to browse, compare, and buy from the comfort of home.
