Speed 5 / Price 4 / Quality 5

Anytime i need a quick reference for items such as screw standards/sizes, i just visit the section on screws, and all pertinent info as you would find in the machinery's handbook will be there. Background on types of metals or plastics, similarly, info/background is all available.

Strengths: Greatest and most functional website ever in the history of the world and you get your order delivered same day if ordered before 10am. Anything you need as an engineer, machinist or technicians its probably in here.
