Ditto with the cool little Whitney-Roper hand metal-punch kit. Ditto with
the timer for my little pressure-washer.
You sure you aren't thinking Grainger? Those boys can be obtuse when
they want to. But I've never had a bit of the trouble you relate, with
McMaster, for many years now. Strange...
Stock Drive Components is a great outfit, and have a lot of the more
obscure stuff that is sometimes needed in restoring Old Gear.
