While we're on the topic of new (to at least one person) places to buy cool
gear, I recently got a catalog from these folks:

I ordered a shovel and they sent me their printed catalog. My oh my... As a

Tractor Supply is OK, but if you think it's Mecca now, you'd better take a
tranquilizer before you go to Farm & Fleet.
And for my personal all-time grand prize for specialty stuff there's
Stedman's in Stuttgart Arkansas. They have things I haven't seen for
decades, and things I've only seen in mill supply stores -- stuff straight
out of McMaster-Carr. Power transmission stuff, irrigation stuff, and more.
Heavy hardware - not much on hinges for cigar boxes, not most of the
packaged doodads that the hardware department at Home DIpstick carries, not
a lot of Chinese crap, and not lots of the big brands of imitation tools.
It's an old-time hardware and supply store.
