I'm a tool guy, I love tools. I recently aquired a new Lathe, Mill and with the various other welders/benders and such I have the means to build some cool stuff. The problem I have is finding a decent source for all of the weird stuff I need. Well, finally after over 20 years living in this region I finally went to a place called "Blue Collar Supply". I've heard people talk about it for years and now I know why. It's a toy/candy store for guys like me. I can't believe it's taken me this long to go there, shame on me. Anyway, I am just so excited I had to post something. It's almost an 80 mile round trip but worth it. BTW, if you tinker or build stuff you ought to check this surplus place out that I buy stuff from occasionally. They will mail you a catalog and have some cool stuff-

Had them in my favorites for a long time, just haven't needed anything yet.
