Subject: Amazon, my new parts supplier



West Union, Illinois

Dad had a 15" genuine Crescent brand adjustable wrench we keep in the tool box in the shop.  I picked it up out of the drawer the other day and the knurled adjuster fell out.  Looked and looked and could not find the pin. I thought to myself "There had to be replacement parts available for this".  So I tied all the pieces together and brought it home.

This morning I did a quick search and found Cooper Tools website (www.cooperhandtools.com)  It is great, found exactly what I need, a part AC115PSK.  Looks like just what I want

 I don't need the knurl, but expected to have to buy a kit instead of just the pin.  However it appears I can't order from Cooper, so I put AC115PSK in a Google search and get 915 hits.  For Google that is a fairly small number.  So I start going through the list.  I find it one place for $12.85 Another for $7.30... but when I check shipping they want over $12 to ship it.  I though for an item that according to the manufacturer weighs .100 pounds that was a bit excessive. Then I found another supplier. Only $6.30!  But shipping was over $16!!!

I was a bit frustrated when I looked the desk and there was a pile of invoices printed out from Amazon.  My wife has been Christmas shopping.  So I went to Amazon.com

I found it on Amazon for $8.50.  And because my wife was doing her Christmas shopping we have Amazon Prime.  I think is $30-$40 a year but it makes a lot of stuff free 2nd day shipping.  This part qualified, so I got it for $8.50 total cost and should be here Monday.

Maybe I should go look for combine parts...
