hardware vendor - nuts, bolts and what not

[tcdawg]

I have a couple boogered up bolts that I have been wanting to replace as well as to have spares for certain bolts, TB bolt, CA bolt, etc.

I use to go to Threads of the South in Marietta, but that is not super convenient for me anymore so I went to the interweb.  Figured McMaster Carr was the best way to go.  I stumbled across BoltDepot.com and ended up ordering from them.  The actually had a better selection of what I was looking for.  All my stuff shipped in a day.

Where do you order your hardware?

I tend to use all grade 8 imperial stuff now. TSC has a great deal on it. Fill up and bag and pay by the pound. Much cheaper than HD or Lowes. Plus if you're lucky, the cashier will scan it as grade 8 cotter pins and you can get 5 lbs of hardware for $5. If it's anything metric like my brake caliper brackets, Ace normally has it covered there. I did order driveshaft yoke and some leaf spring bolts at the dealer one time. Only because they're a M14x1.5x120mm nipple tip and flange head. I always figured shipping on a bolt order would be expensive, was it?

where is TSC?

There is a "Bolt and nut" or "Fastenal" here in Chattanooga.
For little stuff here and there, I've always went to Lowes.

Fastensal is everywhere and has everything and works on a 90% GM.  No deals there unless you have a corporate account and volume.

TSC -tractor supply company,  I see them all the time,  jasper, blue ridge, dawsonville , maybe Elijay.  Rural areas?

[Leaky_Sami]

These are the companies I rep -
Fastenal
Peco
Cully
Only issue is that I usually have to order jar quantities and sometimes have a minimum order amount. Feel free to shoot me some part numbers and I’ll get pricing. As always I’ll take care of fellow GATR members.
Also Hagemeyer has just signed a great deal with Exactek. They are a sub of titan usa. High quality bits, burs and etc. All made in the USA, no min order and best of all 50% off list price.

Tractor supply is good for coarse thread nuts and bolts, but they have no fine thread items.  Any screws smaller than 1/4-20 are expensive.  Ace Hardware has a great variety and are OK for small quantities, but are expensive if you need more than a few.

I get a lot of smaller screws by the box from Enco mail order.

Because Dalton has a huge industrial base there are 6+ large local industrial supply stores plus 3/4 of the large chain type places and of course home depot, lowes, ace hardware.

My go to place is Industrial Bearing Supply.

I usually just bring tools on a ride and take what bolts I need off other rigs while they are eating lunch.  //LMAO//

Oh absolutely. They've got a lot of interesting stuff.

Every now and then work will donate some hardware for "government projects"...
