Mouser Electronics

The venerable Mouser catalog should be on your list of recommendations. Mouser provides electronic components with no minimum purchase required. I don't know why Mouser is seldom a hit in Google searches. But if I want anything from neon indicator bulbs to video cabling, Mouser is my first and usually last stop. Their complete catalog is searchable online and is viewable as PDF pages. They offer a huge range of shipping options (using five different carriers) and charge only the actual shipping cost, no "handling." Until relatively recently, you had to telephone one of their operators to place an order, but they now have online ordering in place.

I think they've had on-line ordering for about 5+ years now. It's always the latest version of whatever part you want too. If you're building something, you don't want last years chipset. They are continually adding new products... and seems like they have them first.

A cool tool is anything useful that is superior to comparable items. If you think this tool is inferior suggest a better one. You are welcome to insult a tool, but comments containing insults to individual people will be deleted. Corrections of fact are always welcomed, if stated politely. Recommendations of better tools are dearly wanted and may be elevated to the front page.
