Oh forgot, Fastenal supplies us with all of our shop supplies, but we are starting to switch our abrasives over to our local autobody supplier, as he can be more consistent with the price. Fastenal is great one day, and then they try and sneak a higher price by you the next time they bring a stock up order. I am constantly phoning about it.
I always try and support local. Plus our autobody supplier will hold the inventory for us, and we can jsut buy them in a dozen when we need them! No shipping, etc. Once we start using something, he makes sure he has enough supply so that there is no wait if we run out. And he delivers. so for the 10 cents more per flap disc its totally worth it. Just like ordering parts, sometimes it is detrimental to search for the best price over service and supply!
