Buying a Tool?

Try McMaster-Carr
They have everything, in lots of models. A clean efficient website as well.

Hey, what happened to the salesman comments? I thought they were funny.

James,

For some reason this post reminded me of my conversation with you guys at Granpa's last year...I was supposed to forward the address of this cool place I found on the net that sold hardware and stuff for the homesteading type. You probably have seen the site but here it goes http://www.lehmans.com/

I enjoy browsing thru it now and again.

Oh, dang, I was hoping no-one saw those. Thing is I AM a salesman for McMaster-Carr, but I thought admitting it might reduce my persuasiveness. The cat is out of the bag now. Oh well.

Not seen them? They were positively rife with parental-filial tension. Re the old time tools, does anyone in this family live in the present? Mamma mia! Not a critique, just a comment. I thought I was the only one living in 1779.

Since I don´t have my own spot, I´ll just use yours to pass on a personal observation concerning French keyboards. You have to shift to use a period for the end of your sentence, the exclamation point does not need a shift stroke. That explains a lot. Mon Dieu! This is being written on a Spanish keyboard however, so shift I did. ¿se habla EspaƱol? Ciao ciao. Thanks for the space James. I owe you 5 inches.

What do you mean you ARE a salesman for McMaster Carr?
What comments am I missing?
"Chowder!"

You missed some good ones Lief. I´d have bought something from him if I didn´t have to pay extra shipping. "Corn!"

You know how David Banner is always trying to get people to treat him nice so that The Hulk doesn't bust out and do something that David Banner would be sorry about?
Well Bop-Op has been playing the part of "The Redneck Cowboy" poking fun and prodding poor David Banner (me). David made an attempt to warn The Cowboy, but The Cowboy said, essentially, "Bring it on, wuss-boy!"
However, that episode has passed, so we won't know if The Hulk is going to lay waste to cyberspace until some future episode.
