A cheapter alternative to McMaster-Carr?
Does anyone know of a catalog type store that's a cheaper alternative to McMaster-Carr? I'm looking for a specific type of metal product but I know McM-C charges double what it really costs and would love to find a similar catalog company that sells the same type of things but doesn't completely rip you off.
(And please don't say "They have metals at home depot or lowes")
Answer:
For tools, harbor freight is a cheap alternative.
For bulk metals, your best bet would be a local supplier or check on ebay. Believe it or not, people sell bulk metal on ebay for a relatively low price.
Regardless, it depends on what specific item you're looking for.
