Grainger, unlike MSC, McMaster, ENCO and others, can be a real PITA
about the business thing. What you get when walking into the local
branch can vary greatly depending on who is working there at the time
and what kind of day they are having. When I needed to order some stuff
from Grainger (they do have a few things that others don't), they gave
me some grief about the business thing. I convinced them that I was a
business, albeit a very small one by faxing them a copy on my Sch. C
from my tax return. One from a year when I moved halfway across the
country and didn't do much consulting, but a gross consulting income of
$750 is still a business.

As luck would have it, MSC has it, and for slightly less. Of course,
tax and shipping will push it up to over $1800, but that's still less
than half the Matco cost for about the same dimensions. Only about $100
more than Craftsman when all is said and done.
MSC has some nice customer support people, too. I like 'em!
