Grainger is a very useful supplier. They are strategically located and so customers find it easy to get their supplies.

Strengths: Grainger carries a very wide range of industrial tools in their catalogue. They carry popular brands that are local and of good quality and reputation. Generally, Grainger is located everywhere in the US. I like that I can do will calls.

Needs to improve: Like any other supplier, there were some hiccups in order processing (i.e. not getting the right parts, not being informed that there are back orders).

Grainger is Expensive

Our company has relied on Grainger for many years from everything from piston air compressors to crimping tools. Most recently we purchased multiple mobile air circulators (i.e. large fans) for our warehouse. The variety of products offered by Grainger saves our company time and ultimately, money. One unique feature is that they have hundreds of branches where you can pickup your order if you're into that sort of thing. Vendor worth checking out for sure.

Strengths: Diverse product catalog.

Needs to improve: None.

Don't know the name of what you want, but know the part number? Grainger is your source....

Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 5

Whenever our company needs a part, whether a one-off item that can only be identified by a part number, to ordering a pallet of the very same, we save time by looking to Grainger first. Several attempts have been made to find cheaper prices with comparable service and selection, but no other vendor comes close.

Strengths: Encyclopedic catalog of supplies. If Grainger does not carry an item, it most likely does not exist. Very knowledgeable customer service representatives

Needs to improve: None in my experience

They have good system of handling orders also good quality

We buy a lot of our warehouse gloves at the San jose location. It can get busy at times, to the point where I'm waiting about 20 minutes to be helped

Strengths: have you seen a grainger book? they have a huge selection of any material or equipment you are looking for. in fact it might be too much as I've flipped thru the book to not find what I need because it is too much

Needs to improve: too many items possibly

Our firm uses Grainger Industrial Supply to source our power tools and any other parts when we are in immediate need of one.

Grainger is the only place I go to when it comes to something specific I couldn't find anywhere else.

Strengths: Grainger has a huge selection of electronic components and general needs at very competitive prices. I am located in fremont where there is a local branch and I never had an issue with my orders.

Needs to improve: The catalog they use is just too much to look through. There website needs to be improved for easier navagation.
