Why bother. It might as well be in your front yard the way they deliver.

Agreed! I *frequently* get next-day delivery, even up here in iglooland.
Thanks to Tim Summers tip, I've just ordered some plastic motor case protectors from them.
I've used McMaster for several years. They have such a comprehensive lineup of "stuff", that it's a little like some kind of Byzantine adventure novel--every time you go back to their catalog, you find something new that's applicable....
To Tims suggestions, I'll add (without page numbers, sorry) motor thrust rings. (Cleverly disguised as aluminum SHAFT COLLARS).
They arrived early this morning. McMaster astounds me. They remind me a little bit of Isaac Asimovs treatise on thiotimoline...
You still stuck with BS? Boy, I hated them. You'd see something there, need it a while later, and it was gone. No one ever knew why. They closed up all their stores around here when Home Despot moved in town. Now we're starting to get a few Lowes too. The midwest based Menards, and Elgin IL based Seigle's are sticking it out. Most of my house came from Seigle's.
Wasn't BS originally part of K-Mart?
I was just looking for a couple screws for a project. They ought to be about a nickle each in a place with bulk parts. One of the superstores had them in shrink wrap for 39 cents each!

They have really good snapring pliers too.

I have the "Hi-Tech" set from them. This is a good quality 3-plier set, with the largest pliers designed for rings up to 4", with a ratchet.
Handling 4" rings makes me nervous.
The big boys (that do snap-rings measured in *feet*) use a special type of "pliers" in which the pins are threaded into the retractor holes in the snap-ring. None of the sickening, mega-joule, *PLING* as the snap-ring leaves the pliers, and heads for Jupiter, taking a sample of human flesh with it :-) :-)
When I get 20 lb NOX tanks I have to remove the handle and valve to install the siphon tube. The handle is held on with this monster snap ring. I'm very glad I invested 50 bucks in a set of ratcheting pliers from McMaster. If one of those things ever slips off it'll punch through drywall...if I'm lucky!
