New Tool Source

[William E Burrows Jr]

Dear Members,
I would like to share a great place to find tools for our hobby.
McMaster-Carr.com.
Check it out very cool. I am thinking of replacing some of my button head bolts that have a tendency to strip with stainless steel torque bolts.
No rust and I have never stripped a torque head bolt.
May solve a lot of problems and aggravation.
I will let you know down the road.
Best Regards,
William E. Burrows Jr.

They have a little bit of everything. Looks like a good site.

I've been using McMaster Carr for years. Quick shipping too.

I've been using them for years also but through work . Now with this hobby I've been ordering stuff from home. Other good sources are MSC , Grainger and Fastenal. These 3 are similar to McMaster Carr.

Just received an Aluminum rod .5" x 12" that is going to become my wing support from McMaster . Cut it down to 2 pieces and length . Then turn them down to the right diameters .

I agree the ups shipping is unbelievable like next day for under $8.00.
I am still waiting a week for other orders to arrive from a popular RC site, they keep changing the delivery date. Their overnight costs $27.00.
