A huge advantage of McMaster I didn't see enumerated is the 3D models - for nearly every fastener, and for certain other products, you can instantly grab a 3D model and bring it right into your CAD design. As far as I know no one else offers this, definitely not at the scale McMaster's dataset offers.<p>An annoyance of McMaster I didn't see enumerated is how they don't show you the shipping cost until after transaction is complete. That's fine for my day job when I'm not paying, but when I order stuff for home projects I generally would like to know how much it costs to ship say, an 8 foot piece of steel tubing, before I click submit order. EDIT: they updated this apparently! See user Certified's comment below.
