Lowes is freaking outrageous for nuts and bolts. I've already discovered that Tractor Supply sells grade 5/8 bolts by the pound and as at a minimum half the price. Not on stainless steel though.

Where does one buy SS bolts, nuts, screws, etc. at a reasonable price? Freaking #10 screws are 65 cents a piece.

If you have a Value Home Center near you go there.

I get mine threw my work @ 10% over cost. I work at an International truck dealership.

Most car, truck or parts stores can get them.

We buy them from McMaster Karr

You might know someone that can hook you up locally. I can order anything they sell.

 

[5.2Krawler]

Find a local nut and bolt store. I can buy about 8 bolts for what Lowe's charges for 1

I have a couple of industrial hardware stores around. My favorite is McFadden Dale. They are mucho cheaper than Lowes/Home Depot/OSH. In fact I just left OSH cause they wanted $.99/each for some wing nuts, individually packed 1 per pack - no thanks.

I'll hit my hardware store one of these mornings this week.

 

[under_psi]

we had a fastenal open up close to me...so i finally got smart and stopped buying the 2pks at lowes and home depot...

we had a friend that gave the central ms jeep club a 10% discount.....and they honor it at the new store too....

i paid about $6 for a bag of 1/4-20 SS screws, a little more for the nylock nuts...and iirc about $18 for a bunch of 1/2" screws and loc nuts....

 

[redtruck]

Fastenal maybe

Good selection but if I need 4, I have to buy 100. Cheaper to buy 4 overpriced than the 100 at a good price.

 

[atblis]

Hmm

In my experience Fastenal is as bad as Lowes.

It might be easier to help if we knew where you were located...

I buy many of mine through my local surplus yard. Seems like SS was in the neighborhood of $3 a lb.

+1. Mike's Surplus in Guntersville, AL is a good example. You can get Grade 8 bolts all day long for $2/lb and SS for $3/lb last time was there.

Same with screws and socket head bolts.

Boeing Surplus in Seattle used to be the shiznet in the Seattle area until the dickheads at corporate decided to fuck everyone in the PNW. Assholes.

 

[ranger2000]

Believe it or not Ace hardware near me has a good selection on SS fasteners. They are a little more price than lowes on some stuff tho. Nothing good around here anyway. Unless there is and i just dont know. Im in Ashland, MA

 

[atblis]

Man

I would kill to get SS at $3 per lb. I am paying $3.84/lb for Grade 8 .

I am in Blacksburg Va. This area sucks for trying to get many things.

dress conservative and i dont think you will need to worry at all

 

[the_experience3006]

The parts store I work at has a decent selection of stainless hardware as well as other "odd" hardware. Have you tried a smaller store to see what they have? VatoZone or Advance probably aren't going to be able to help you, but a smaller store just might. Just because it isn't out in the open doesn't mean they don't have it either. Many keep their hardware behind the counter.

I never shopped too much but like dealing with these guys.
