Here’s some incentive for breaking the wholesale barrier.
Grainger’s fat catalog features tools and shop equipment at good prices, but is most famous for motors, fans, compressors, pumps, and other stuff commonly found under “industrial supplies” in the Yellow Pages. I’ve had very good service from Grainger’s, as both a legitimate and an illegitimate customer. They’re easy to find with 188 stores across the U.S.A. (see their catalog for locations nationwide).
