Yes I could do a search but I want to know of companies you have used and are satisfied with the products and service you have received.

Thanks;
and Merry Christmas.

They have lots of supplies, tools, plans, and frequent sales.

Check the web site for specials not available in the catalog.

Here are a few I have bookmarked. I've only glanced at them thus far, so can't give a good opinion on them.

I've been doing business with them for twenty years and have been very satisfied. They have an excellent print catalog, by the way.

• Jamestown Distributors

Tools galore +++ books +++ everything ... will even 'babysit' husbands (w/ free coffee) while wife is in the mall

• Lee Valley

Leonard Lee, its founder, started a mail-order hand tools business when he retired from the Canadian Air Force. The thing has grown enormously. Lee gets a lot of local ink for his inventions, particularly his line of surgical tools.

Ottawa is a community where only hockey players and an occasional surgeon receive uncritical acclaim, but when Lee writes a letter to the editor, wire services pick it up and legislators take note. His employees adore him because he hands everyone deal-making authority: most seem to be retired individuals who have made a lot of decisions in earlier careers and would chafe under a more restrictive managerial approach.

Three years ago, someone mentioned a small, stainless steel wood rasp from the LVT Catalog on a New York T.V. show and it became a surprise best-seller as a lemon zester in better kitchens. The Alabama company which manufactures the rasp has been on double shifts ever since.

You need to have a Lee Valley Tool Catalog on your bookshelf.

Another catalog I use infrequently is one from Horton Brasses in Pennsylvania. They produce high-quality replicas of historic hinges and fastenings. Excellent products and service.
