I brought this whole thing up (sorry!) and after checking prices on 5 gal. of
Super Agitene, Grainger is about a buck cheaper than the other two. Combine
that with a store within 5 miles of my house (no shipping charges), and I
think I'll try them first.
BTW, I used to sell for a company called Bowman Distribution (Barnes Group).
They sold all sorts of maintenance products, welding rods, fittings,
chemicals, etc. Anyone ever hear of them? They have apparently bought their
biggest competitors, Mechanics Choice and Curtis.
