"Tool geeks,
Doing some hardware prospecting, I came across this.

If you ever need a tap size that doesn't exist, these guys probably 
already have one in stock. Look around the site with your wish list. You 
can likely fill the order in one stop. Decent prices too.
 
PS: how do I always end up with five 1/4"-20 taps and no 1/4-28 when 
that's what I need? Grrrr......."
 
Ron,
And then there is Chickering bolts! What the heck? Taps and Dies are a
never ending thang, imo. The more I have, the more I seem to need.
BTW, Wondering what the "#8" of an 8-32 tap/die refers to. Wire Size? If
so, what Wire Size Standard? There are and were a bunch of different ones.
And then some idjit added "Metric"! What the heck is that?<G>
Regards,
Joe
