> If I need a bag of insulated crimp terminals ring terminals that work on #10 screws and 12 AWG wire, then: That's what I need, what I search for
I too have been spoiled by parametric searching.
Nothing like going on digikey and specifying that I want to see all rs232 transceivers with maximum X ma of hysteresis, >=3 drivers, >=1 receiver that supports Y-Z operating temperature and xxx kbps.
Also gotta love rockauto where you drill down to your specific year/make/model and it lists every oil filter that's compatible segmented by quality. (But figuring out the warehouses are a total pain)
The warehouse game (or at least the version that I play) is just to optimize shipping expense.
They've got a checkbox that says something like "Choose for me" that seems to help, but it kind of sucks if im being particular about a number of parts.
It would be better if I could just check all possible candidate parts as I compile an order to complete a project, and have it pick from just my selections.
(Like, maybe I don't care which brand of coated rotors I get -- at all -- so I check all of the coated rotors.
And maybe I'm happy with either Bendix or Powerstop pads, so I check both of them.
I also need an oil filter. I understand that in my car, Mahle is fine, so is Mann, and so is one particular Purolator, while I also understand that the low-end Fram is not OK.
So I might pick the candidates that make sense for me there, too.
And then, ideally: I push the "Now save me some money" button and it optimizes the order to ship one part for each set of candidates as cheaply as possible.
