Incredibly complete line of industrial supplies.
Hollow shank nut drivers, face spanners, 0-rings, raw materials and just about
anything else you can think of. M-C is legendarily weird about their catalogs
they simply won't give you one unless you are a major company, or an
established customer, and then they might give you just one but they'll sell to
anyone, and in any quantity, so the trick is to get your hands on an old one
and order a few times before you ask (they've also got the catalog online, but
it's a pain to use, and on CD-ROM).

The
Thomas Register is a directory of companies making all sorts of products, as well
as distributors handling those products. It's available in most libraries, and
online. The Tomcat is great for finding out who makes something like O-rings
and then finding a distributor who might have it in stock when you can't find
anything locally many of the distributors listed have toll free numbers, and
will sell in small quantities.

The Compleat Underground Sourcebook on
the Handling and Mixing of Oxygen, Nitrox and Trimix, for Dive, Emergency and

the best thing yet written on HP gas handling in the real world.
