It turns out that mine is now 11 years old, and still sorta useful, but their web catalog is OUTSTANDING. If you've got wireless and a laptop, you can even browse on the toilet, and given the size of the paper one, many laptops are lighter.

But in their defense they surely are not cheap. A 10 year old catalog is almost as good as a new one. An old catalog number is always good, if the product changes they will tell you the new best replacement. and any differences. Before I retired and had tried to get a catalog by phone they would tell me who had one I could possibly use. I did get a hand me down copy. As a reference book they are worth their weight in gold. The information in them and how to select the correct item is priceless. Service is better than great. I'm in NJ and can call at 6P and the order will be at my door the next day for standard UPS rates, not overnight or extra charges for their prompt service. I don't ever recall an "out of stock " order. An amazing outfit. 73, Bob K2TK Don Wilhelm wrote: > Doug, > > You 'cheated' and looked at their website - I am the proud recipient > of a paper McMaster-Carr catalog - it is now 7 years old and it took 3 > years of requests to get it.
