McMaster-Carr is a US based supplier of parts, tools, raw materials, and equipment with an immense assortment of items ranging from mundane to incredibly esoteric. One of their most well known features is an easy to use, yet exceptional catalog (which can be browsed online) where you can filter to the finest specific details.
The physical yellow catalog (as pictured) cannot be ordered and is only sent to established customers that have made a certain level of purchases, in the order of magnitude of thousands of dollars over a certain period of time, giving it an almost mythical status. It's considered by some the engineer's Bible.
