How can you obtain a mcmaster-carr catalog?

Contact the company and claim any/all of the following:

1 - You are in the maintenance dept, fix stuff yourself, and can make your own purchases.

2 - You are on a long term jobsite which will last more than six months or so.

3 - You run a machine shop with at least 4 other employees.

Always be sure to order with a company name as they do not like selling to individuals.

NEVER say you are in the purchasing department as they will not send to purchasing agents.

Be persistent - If they deny your request at first, just keep asking.
