McMaster Carr , MSC, and Grainger are all wonderful for being able to buy anything and everything under the sun.

At work, they are wonderful because we can order everything from hand soap to nuts and bolts to machine tools out of the same catalogue and it is all in stock.

You do pay for that convenience dearly. I use their catalogues to find what I am looking for, then I go out and buy the exact same product from someone else for about 40% less.

I like Grainger because you can find out what brand things are. Once you do that, you can find the company's distributors and try to either get things locally or get them way cheap somewhere.

Best regards

John
