HAhaha... you’re very funny. ;-)...
Evans don’t have the hinge tool, but do sell the pins. Which, according to Brompton, they’re not allowed to sell unless fitted in store. It’s a “supply and fit” part, which I’ve ordered from their website. (Shhhh)
tbf, the mechanics and staff at Evans in Norwich have been really very helpful. I can’t speak for their mechanical work, but the customer service (considering I hadn’t bought anything in relation to this hinge) has been great! They seem to think that of their London shops has the tool...
I guess it’s just not necessary to equip all stores with a specific tool that might not see a lot of use.
They will have reamers for other jobs I’m sure, but I like the idea of having the tools myself. There’s been a few occasions over the years when the ability to ream bike stuff and metal work would have been handy.
