Cyndy,

    Thank you for asking a positive question, since this thread has
    gotten a bit, um, heated. 

    For some things, I do like Rio (tools only) and Stuller (more for
    metals and findings than tools). I also love 46 Jewelry Supply (which
    Kenneth Singh represents here on Orchid) in NYC. Tevel at Allcraft in
    NYC is also very accommodating and they have some quite unusual and
    wonderful tools. It's quite unfortunate, in my opinion, that neither
    46 nor Allcraft have good websites or catalogs as neither specialize
    in mail order. 

    As far as mail order suppliers go, Progress (www.progresstool.com )
    and Contenti (www.contenti.com) are both excellent suppliers with
    good prices and a wide selection. 

    All in all, there's not a single supplier in this business who has
    "everything." They each have their strengths and weaknesses, so when
    you're looking for something specific it pays to look in multiple
    places. 

Hope this helps!
Karen Goeller
