Shop Supplies

No matter whether you’re a professional or a do-it-yourselfer, besides tools you’re going to need supplies and consumables to be productive in your shop. Products like shop towels, degreasers, spray lubricants, adhesives, wire ties, abrasives, and electrical tape get used on a regular basis, parts and the shop must be cleaned frequently, and extension cords are often needed to run electrical equipment. You’ll save time and be able to work without interruption if you stock quantities of the consumables and supplies you use regularly instead of having to run out to the store every time the need arises. Be proactive, look over our huge selection of shop supplies and consumables and order them on-line or by phone at your convenience, so they’re on hand when you need them.

In a typical shop, automotive chemical products may get used more than any other consumable. We can supply you with spray-on cleaners and degreasers for removing built up gunk on engines, brakes, throttle bodies, carburetors, and many other components. Thorough cleaning of parts that will be reused is a part of an efficient repair, and we have the parts washers for any size job, from inexpensive portable washers to benchtop models, to washer tanks that mount on stands or drums. We also have the parts cleaning brushes you need including flow-through brushes that direct solvent right on the part, and time and labor-saving air operated agitating washer drums. Everything from wheel bearings to door hinges, lock cylinders to cables, needs lubricant to function properly. We offer silicone spray lubricant, white lithium grease and high-temperature bearing grease, as well as special lubricants to prevent seizing, penetrate and loosen rusted parts, and lubricate brake parts.

No matter what you want to seal or adhere to your vehicle, we can supply you with the proper adhesives and sealants. We offer products to affix engine gaskets, weather stripping, and rear-view mirrors, plus many special super glues, epoxies and compounds for attaching and repairing components, including rear window defoggers. And if you don’t have a gasket or the application calls for a form-in-place gasket, we can supply you with gasket makers for a wide range of temperatures and applications, including sensor-safe compounds and products that can withstand the harsh environment of differentials and transfer cases. Making sure parts stay attached can be challenging in high-stress, vibration-intensive environments. Our thread locking compounds will make sure components stay put and they’re available in strengths that allow removal when needed and for permanent installation.

Fasteners with stripped threads or rounded corners; snap rings and E-clips that are lost or deformed; torn or dry rotted O-rings; used cotter pins and copper crush washers: none of these parts can be reused and must be replaced to ensure a proper repair. These small components, along with other ancillary parts like hose clamps, grease fittings, and valve stem cores may require replacement during the course of different repair jobs. Stock up on these and the many other products you’ll find in our selection of supplies and consumables and you’ll always have whatever you need to get the job done right. While we can supply you with small quantities, choosing an assortment is generally best because then you’ll have a variety of sizes, styles, colors, etc. to suit just about every application you’re likely to encounter.

From repairing connectors to constructing custom wiring harnesses, we can supply you with all your electrical wiring needs. Here you’ll find spools of wire in all popular gauges and color choices, protective thermal sleeving, braided sheathing and split loom tubing, electrical tape to gather individual wires into harnesses, and clips and wire ties to route and mount wiring and harnesses. We have a vast collection of every type of wire terminal and connector as well as heat shrink tubing to ensure an insulated, abrasion-resistant electrical connection. And if you build your own electrical circuits, we also have a selection of resistors, capacitors, diodes, and more. In addition to the aforementioned electrical tape, we can supply you with many other kinds of adhesive tape, including the ever-indispensable duct tape, double-sided tape for secure bonding, thermal insulating foil tape, reflective safety tape, packaging tape, foam tape and masking tape.

Whether you’re removing gasket material with a bristle disc, sanding wood, or buffing paint, we have the abrasives, grinding, sanding, and polishing supplies for the job. We offer sheets of sandpaper and adhesive backed sandpaper rolls in coarse to superfine, ultra-fine, and micro-fine grits; sanding pads and blocks; sanding and surface prep discs; flap wheels and sanding belts in an assortment of sizes and grits; straight and tapered abrasive rolls and mandrels; a variety of rotary and die grinder grinding stones and grinding stone sets; wire brushes for drill mounting and wire brushes and grinding wheels for bench grinders; and polishing pads and bonnets. Here you’ll also find deburring tools and abrasive for blast cabinets.

A dull cutting edge can do more mangling than cutting, and since the tendency is to apply more force in an attempt to compensate for the reduced cutting capability, a dull blade can, in fact, be more dangerous to use. Cutting blades should be replaced at the first sign that they’re lacking effectiveness, and no matter the tool we can supply you with the blade you need. We have a large selection of manual hacksaw and coping saw blades and cutting blades for all types of power tools, including cut-off wheels, circular saw blades, diamond saw blades for cutting concrete, masonry, and tile, jig saw blades for cutting wood, metal, pipe, and masonry, reciprocating saw blades for wood and metal, band saw blades, carbide-tipped and diamond chainsaw chains in various lengths, and cutting blades and cutting blade sets for oscillating tools. Plus, we have dado sets for cutting dadoes in wood with table saws and radial arm saws.

When you’re using corded electrical equipment out of reach of the electrical outlet, our heavy-duty extension cords will deliver the power. Retractable cord reels allow you to unreel just the amount of cord you need, and efficiently store the cord when not in use. We can supply you with heavy-duty extension cords up to 100’ in length, wall-mount cord reels, portable cord reels, some equipped with 4 electrical outlets, and some with outlets and USB ports, power strips, and power strip/surge protectors. A clean environment makes for a more pleasant place to be and helps to ensure quality work, so it’s good practice to keep the shop tidy. Regular cleaning will keep floors and work areas clean, helping to prevent wayward dirt particles from ruining a repair. Check out our selection of cleaning & janitorial supplies, including brushes, brooms, squeegees, buckets & spray bottles, and shop towels & rags, all designed to make cleaning chores easier.
