Best online tool/supply store?
 

TowerHobbies almost does it but some times they don't have everything that I need when it comes to things that don't have everything to do with the hobby. My main concern at the moment is that I would like to buy some 5/8 heat shrink. They would of course need to have things like every possible hand tool such as drivers, temp guns, Voltameters, soldering irons, while still having supplies like shrink wrap.

Any suggestions? :smile:

Thanx,
Zack

Grainger has tons of stuff too.

harborfreight.com :]

+1. Can't beat the prices there!

Harbourfreight FTW. Yep, I just bought a case of 45pcs of shrink from them in 3" lengths of varying thicknesses for $5. They didn't have any soldering ststions there though. They may online, but not in the store.

I didn't even think about them for tools. Looks like they have Wera hex drivers. I really like my Wera ball drivers I got from hexcrews.com, but I had not been able to find the non-ball drivers, so I may have to pick some up now.

Or just visit the store! I'm lucky enough to have one within a 15 minute drive... :smile:

HF is one of those places you simply cannot go in without getting something. I usually go in to get one or two things and end up walking out with an armful. Some of the stuff is rather cheap quality, but as long as you aren't looking for high-end stuff, it's fine...

the last place I bought shrinkwrap was the electrical aisle at Home Depot

I get them there too sometimes, but the size selection is poor and kinda expensive for what you get. And they are pre-cut to ~3-4" lengths, which kinda sucks because you are always left with a tiny unusable piece.
