[R-390] Capacitors and Bristol wrench set needed...

Fri, 10 May 2002 07:04:16 -0700

Hi,  I've bought from McMaster for quite a while,  they have some of the more
unusual hardware,  nuts, bolts, screws, metal, phenolic, plastics.  It's not as
easy to surf the web catalog as the paper version but it's up-to-date,  whereas
my 6 year-old catalog has some outdated items but still useful.  I've never had
an order refused for being too small,  though shipping and handling is a
consideration.  It's a great place to order screws/nuts by the 100/box, and
they have some of the harder to find sizes/head styles.  I recently ordered
some brass and aluminum sheet for making etched metal tags.  Dan
