A size might help! A box of a 100 is only 5.25 here (https://www.jlindustrial.com/Search/item.asp?IK=SSB%2D46460)

this is a dumb question but can you tell me what the numbers stand for in the link you gave. (1/4-20 X 3/8) . i know the 3/8 is the length, and i think 1/4 is the allen wrench size. is the 20 the thread count? thanks a lot

1/4" is the diameter of the bolt! They don't state the Allen wrench size.

1/4-20 means .250" major dia of the threads (outside dia), 20 tpi (threads per inch) pitch. The 3/8's part is the length of the bolt not counting the height of the head- measured from the base of the head to the end of the bolt. Some extra info- 1/4-20 is UNC, coarse thread. The fine thread version of that is 1/4-28 UNF.
