DanSteely Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Hi All, It's possibly my age, but I do like browsing and buying from paper catalogues. Ones I use regularly include (in no particular order): RS http://uk.rs-online.comCPC http://cpc.farnell.com/Farnell http://uk.farnell.com/Screwfix https://www.screwfix.com/Flints https://www.flints.co.uk/Axminster Tools https://www.axminster.co.uk/Penn-Elcom https://www.penn-elcom.com/Cromwell https://www.cromwell.co.uk/ Are there any other useful catalogues BR members can suggest to add to the library?

w/robe Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 These lovely people have a nice paper catalogue which I have, at long last, convinced them to stop sending to me as it costs them money and I always use the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlinford Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The one where the online version hasn't replaced the paper version for me is the Flints catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Can you actually get a paper Farnell catalogue? I tried and they said they weren't printing them any more.It would be very handy because Farnell's website has always been rubbish for finding things. The way they have categorised everything is totally inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Flints and Canford have useful info in apart from product description and price. RS can be used as a step-stool.* *Please don't try this at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSteely Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 And a few I forgot... Studiospares & Rapid. The Farnell catalogue is very old and as mentioned is no longer printed. I agree Andrew, the RS & Flints catalogs offer great additional background info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllieDuff Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 J&C Joel, as the photos on the website aren't even slightly representative.Flints, as they have quite a lot of stuff that isn't in their web shop and also have lots of useful info.

DanSteely Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Just taken delivery of the latest VDC catalogue (25th Ed). As before it's a very classy tome with lots of useful additional information. Love to know the production price... DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
