Title: Stocking a garage
Post by: Popeye the Sailor on November 11, 2009, 06:29:12 PM
So of all the things I need (my google fu is weak tonight), I could use a nice nut, bolt, and washer assortment (standard). Standard steel fasteners, say from 1/4 20 size (maybe slightly smaller) up to 1/2" hardware. Plenty of everything, with it all in it's little bins.

Someone makes them. Someone here probably knows where the hell I can find such a thing.



While we're at it, I also want spools of wire 8 gauge to 16.


Help a poor soul out.

I need the hardware, not the containers, and buying it piecemeal at the hardware store is a waste of time and money.

You can buy pretty decent kits full of the standard stuff for $20-$30 at most of the bigger automotive stores. Saves a ton of money when you have a project going. You still need to grab your hardened stuff piece meal, but their good for most of it.

Lawson stuff is great - I am not sure if they sell to non-commercial.

ohh, well then you could start removing nuts and bolts from random things

it'll give you a hobby, and when you get home you get to figure out what size they are!

Exactly! I would expect you older guys to have barrels of random nuts and bolts. I'm only 25 and already have a bucketful myself.

I left my buckets of bolts in Mass-not worth it to ship 'em-I had like six and could scrounge pretty well. As it's now a 2 hour round trip to go get anything I don't have, I'd rather just buy in bulk to start with and acquire more the old fashioned way, instead of running out for stupid things, like four fender washers and two 1/4-20 bolts.
