Re: Coercing McMaster into sending me a catalog.

There are times when having the web is better but there are other times when having the catalog is really much preferrable.

For example, sometimes I don't know exactly what I want and the search on their site doesn't provide any good leads. In this case, the catalog is the only way to shop.

I don't know how to get McMaster to send you one, but there are several available on ebay -- probably cost you $20 or so by the time you factor in shipping, less if you are willing to live with less than the latest and greatest version. I have #111 -- but #110 would work for 99.99% of the time need/want to use a catalog.

Have you tried calling them? I have never hung up unhappy after talking to the customer service folks at McMaster.
