[Jweebothee]

ok, so i did a search here, and thru google, the last i found was a few years ago, which i did get info and have ordered a few paper catalogs, so far i have gotten SO, SK, maybe 1-2 others, cant remember, but i ask the all knowing GJ, what tool companies offer paper catalogs? by mail, guess that should be mentioned, thanks everyone

Don't know if you are interested in Japanese tools of the highest quality? If so, the following companies offer paper catalogues:

Tone. Pronounced TOE-NAY
Nepros used to offer a paper catalogue but last time I asked their newest one was not available in English. To me, that isn't a big deal.
Supertool.

Toptul had a good catalogue.

The trick to getting these for sure...is to email them and say you already have some of their tools, everyone in your shop loves them, and they keep asking what else does "compay name here" offer.

Oh, btw, how did you go about get your Snap-On and other catalogues? i have the SK paper catalogue.

Like you, I love paper catalogues as I'm old school. I like not having to jump onto the Internet to locate a specific tool in the lineup.

here is the request for snap-on, i only have sk paper saved but you already have that, i cannot remember which else i got for free, when i recieve them i will post, but if you or anyone else has links to free cats, would be much appreciated

Thanks man. I don't know of Toptul interests you but I can send it to you. Mine is in English but just about everything in the catalogue is not available in the US. You'd have to get the parts from Australia or the UK.

Slightly off topic, but did any one else's snap on catalog come in a box that could fit 20 catalogs? Lol

There is a free app of the Snap-on catalogue, and no wasted paper.

Its way easier to read the quantitative information from hardcop...you dont need to keep clicking and aiming a mouse 100s of times or infinitely scrolling/reloading to get the to the info

... length or weight etc

also its much faster to fine genres ans groups of tools if you are looking for ideas on solving a problem or for indirect discovery of tools you've bnever seen before.

ecatalog is great if you have the name/rank/serial number of your part already at your fingertips and it allows you click-to-buy

but they dont really interchange IMHO.

Within the last couple years, I requested and received one from Snap On, Knipex, Lie-Nielsen and Norseman drills to name a few.
