I've always been happy with McMasters though their policy of seldom showing
who makes their product always adds a bit of suprise to the purchase.

I ordered a 6" scale. Recieved Starrett. (USA)
10mm 3/8" drive. Recieved Proto Professional (USA)
3/8M-1/2" adaptor. Recieved Armstrong. (USA)
5C collets, Lyndex. (Japan)
R8 collets, Lyndex.
Drills, PTD http://www.precisiondormer.com/
Adjustable wrench, Crecent. (heat treat sucked not Mcmasters fault)

So what things have you bought and who made them?

The list goes on and on.....They have to be THE best business model
out there. What a company.

I have found that if you call or email and ask them the brand, they
will tell you immediately. With a catalog that size, they might opt to
limit their display of brand just in case they have a supply problem
and are forced to substitute (not that I EVER saw such a thing from
them trickle down to me).

I bought a belt skimmer thinking it looked like a Zebra in the catalog but
got an Abanaki. Seems to work wwell enough though. Taps have generally
been brand names. Fasteners all seem to be import, though.

Got a 1"-12 die, Widell, and cheaper than MSC or J & L.

shoulder bolts, CAMCAR, made in USA

coiled roll pins, 420 SS, their brand, made in USA

My experience is most of their stuff is USA, so I don't mind ordering
from them at all.
Thank You,
Randy

Hey Tom,

About five years ago, you gave me (and whole bunch of RCMers) a neat little
brush that I use to clean the "T" slots out on my mills. Its got just a few
wires about two inch long and a metal ring for a handle. Where do I get
another?

When I first went to McMaster it was without an account for a will call.
After they brought the
merchandise to the counter, my cash came out. They told me "Don't bother
with cash", which
produced the check book. Then they said, "Don't worry, will send you a bill
and you can pay
then." That made an impression.

I lost my debit card and canceled it. McMaster shipped product during the
meantime using the old card data. Evidently they trust us enough to get the
stuff out the door before hitting the card. I got a call asking for another
form of payment and my stuff showed up on schedule.

They are a class act.

When I placed my first order, it was send check in advance, after that
they were more than happy to open my account.
