Is Amazon less expensive?

Apparently, not always and as the saying goes “It pays to shop around.”.

So, I’m looking for something simple, a v-belt for the aquarobic air pump at the lake. You used to be able to just pop over to Canadian Tire and pick one up from an extensive collection, not any more, they don’t have any!

The V-belt in question

S.W.R. Industries a nice Canadian company with good products. Where are your local distributors now?

The company sells on Amazon and direct from their website as well. I like to buy three at a time to have some backups on hand. Here is the breakdown.
