In praise of McMaster Carr...

[miter53]

The world's greatest hardware store. Their website is simply the best. They have an enormous inventory, including drill bits, heat shrink, hand tools, all manner of nuts, screws and bolts, cable ties, adhesives, raw building materials, etc, etc and 99% of the time I get my order the next day, even if I place the order at 6pm or so. Admittedly, I am in No Cal and the warehouse is in LA, but they are rarely out of stock of anything. Not the cheapest, but I've never gotten a product that I thought was of poor quality. The website is a goldmine of information if nothing else. Check it out...

I have been using them for years for their 3D models

I use McMaster mainly for work purposes but they are the hardware superstore! I place an order and usually have it next day!

In SoCal, if you order by 9:30am, there is a good chance you'll receive your order the same afternoon.  Their catalog holds a wealth of knowledge and engineering data for 'all things' hardware.  They are a great first article/prototyping resource.
