  • Industrial Supplies From WalMart

    From Bob La Londe@none@none.com99 to rec.crafts.metalworking on Tue Apr 21 11:59:06 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.crafts.metalworking

    I was recently looking for a gallon jug of WD-40. I still use it for
    some things. Mostly in Aerosol cans purchased by the case, and I was
    thinking they stuff still works as a decent cutting and tapping fluid
    for aluminum. At the most expensive source its about half the cost of
    Tap magic or Rapid Tap. Both of which I buy in gallon jugs. McMaster
    and MSC are where I usually looked first for things like that, but if I
    happen to have a current discount code from Zoro I check there as well. Imagine my surprise to find Walmart had gallon cans for the best price.
    Well 68 cents cheaper on eBay, but if I buy two cans shipping from
    Walmart is free.

    It got me thinking. What other industrial products might be cheaper/est
    from WalMart. Often with free delivery.
