This category serves as a general collection point for companies engaged in selling, buying, and trading new and used manufacturing equipment. Most of them have an appeal to more than one industry and usually include photographs and technical details of their current inventory. Where auctions sites are involved, they also show the status of bids to date. Note: Despite the title of this category, it does -- and can -- include some manufacturer sites, especially where the product range doesn't readily fit elsewhere. As just one example, hand and power tools aimed at a wide variety of markets can belong here, particularly if they aren't appropriate for the Hydraulic and Pneumatic category. Additional note: The separate Used Machinery category also contains a list of possible sources for equipment of a general nature. However, where equipment is restricted to use by a specific industry or applies to a particular type of processing, a site is usually more appropriately indexed elsewhere -- as in the numerous listings to be found throughout the various subcategories that make up this Machinery and Tools section of the Open Directory. Thus, someone with an interest in balancing machines is more likely to find what they're looking for under that heading rather than in either this Auctions and Internet Trading or the Used Machinery one.
