This is going to be my suppliers list which I will maintain as accurately as possible. It’s a bit of an afterthought so I am going to have to do the best I can initially to remember my earlier suppliers. This is a list in no particular order, although I will make a general attempt at keeping it alphabetically sorted.
Each of these is a link you can click on which will open a new browser tab or window and take you directly to their web site.
- Aircraft Spruce and Specialty – Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. has been the supplier that aircraft builders, owners, pilots, and aviation businesses have depended on since 1965. We carry a wide selection of aircraft parts, building materials, avionics, and pilot supplies all of which are offered here on our website and in the famous Aircraft Spruce catalog. You can depend on Aircraft Spruce for prompt shipping and competitive pricing on all orders.
- Cleaveland Tool – Why build your airplane with Cleaveland Tool? We are for builders—by builders. Our van’s rv-4 won the grand champion lindy in 1989 and we’ve been sharing our knowledge ever since. Support small business. We are family owned & operated and we care about the future of experimental aviation. Quality tools are a pleasure to use. We only sell what we’d use ourselves. We like to pass on our best ideas to our fellow builders.
- Harbor Freight – We have invested millions of dollars in our own test labs and factories, so our tools will go toe-to-toe with the top professional brands. And we can sell them for a fraction of the price because we cut out the middleman and pass the savings on to you. It’s just that simple!
- Home Depot – When The Home Depot was founded in 1978, Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank had no idea how revolutionary this new “hardware store” would be for home improvement and the retail industry. Today, we’re proud to be the world’s largest home improvement retailer. In more than 2,300 stores across North America, we aspire to excel in service – to our customers, associates, communities and shareholders. That’s what leadership means to us. That’s The Home Depot difference.
- Lowes – Lowe’s grew from one small-town hardware store in North Carolina to one of the largest home improvement retailers in the world. Then and now, we’re committed to helping homeowners, renters and Pros improve their homes and businesses.
- McMaster-Carr – 98% of orders ship from stock today at ground rates. We hire capability, not skill. Our business evolves alongside our customers, so we need curious people capable of growing in step with the business. Different experiences stretch us to gain knowledge and skills.
