Need to fix a music box but it has to be a left handed tap and die set, right handed won't work. Amazon has some and The Home Depot US site has them but nothing in Canada. Any ideas?

Jesus man, I know you like Transformers, but you need to get out more. No one should get this upset over a movie based on children's toys.

I tried ordering from them 10 years ago and they refused to ship to Canada, I had to get them sent to a guy in Louisiana and then reshipped. Have they changed their policy?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Thanks for the 14 years of LOLs. Govern yourselves accordingly and avoid uppercut reactions!
I'd maybe try Gregg Distributors, Acklands/Grainger, Fastenal, or Calgary Fasteners and Tools. Feeling flush with cash? Snap-On and Mac will sell them to you.
Likely will not be cheap, though.
For something like a music box that is small and likely not too taxing structurally, you may be further ahead finding the size you need made out of Chinesium on eBay. Doesn't sound like you need a high quality / high $$$ tool to perform this repair.
Or, if possible, use the next size larger right-hand thread tap and change the fasteners.
Worst case scenario: use some sort of glue or epoxy, assemble as normal, and just make it into a non-serviceable music box.
You guys are missing the point here. It's literally impossible for him to find what he needs. He should give up.

Just because he keeps Obi-waning himself doesn’t mean he’ll never find the tap and die set he’s looking for.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Just find a good quality right hand set and flip it upside down. Should work for what you need

Although his threads always provide decent entertainment value
Wow, great suggestions here! I'll let him know where he can find them and report back. He's a 70 year old heavy duty mechanic, not too great with computers.
