McMaster Carr...

[planedick]

I don't know how many of you have heard of or done business with McMaster Carr, but I have a couple of extra catalogs (Hard to get) I will send to anyone who wants them for the cost of shipping. These are suppliers of industrial hardware and it is considered by most to be "The Bible" when it comes to hardware items not easily attained. For instandc, I was in need of high vacuum valves that operated in the range of 5 torr, guess what, on the shelf, deliver tomorrow AM!!!! Al those metric fasteners, fittings SS fittings, hose etc right on the shelf. After doing business with them for awhile, they will extend credit. You can order online, pay online, track online etc. I recommend them very highly. Over 3500 pages of stuff. Weighs about 10 lbs.

You can also access their entire catalog online here , complete with a useful search tool and on-line ordering...

Can't figure out how to get total order cost including shipping.
I'm thinking about an order of stainless fasteners but the shipping might cost less than the screws! Don't see a phone number listed. Looks like they have a ton of stuff.

Great catalog

Yeah, I ordered a catalog and never got it, they asked how many people in my organiation would use it? Just me! I guess hey want to maximize thier profits?
Los of stuff for many projects. HARD TO FIND STUFF TOO.

Catalogs...

Like I said, they are hard to come by. They don't give them away until you've done business awhile there. 3500 pages of hard to find "stuff". I don't know how much it would cost to send you one, probably not much. These I have are 1 and 2 yrs old, but that don't really matter as there aren't very many changes. They are really good for just browsing and checking specs on items.
