Mcmaster probably buys from Advance to resell. I don't know about anyone else, but I've found McMaster Carr to be a godsend. None of the industrial supply houses around here have much of an inventory anymore, so I just got to McMaster for most of what we need. I just placed an order a couple hours ago for some parts for one of our cranes. With their warehouse about 50 miles from here the package will be on my porch by lunchtime. Very convenient. |

I would suspect that it is cheaper at $50.00 a handle, plus shipping, to buy the handles, instead of having an employee make them. Having an employee(s) work on such a project takes them away from other projects, and I'm sure it's a trade off. Buy what you can if it is reasonable, so you can best use the shop work force. |

McMasters' initial fill rate on orders as consistently close to 100 percent as one could imagine. Their 'secret' is this: The UPS trailer with outbound shipments is not dispatched to UPS until 11 pm. Conceivably, one could place an order at 8 pm (as I have done) and receive the item the next morning. DPK |

Also, you might try: O P Link Handle Co Inc ( American Handle Co) 403 S Main St Salem, IN 47167 Phone: (812) 883-2981 Don't believe they have a web site, and I don't have a recent product list. We have obtained spike mall, axe, pick handles and I believe car mover and 50 ton jack handles from them some years ago. John Harbeck -- Hesston Steam Museum in Indiana |
