All of your stainless bolts from hardware stores are coming from China. Sears, ACE, etc. All the same supplier of bolts. I broke one a grade 8 bolt from Sears, and that was the last time that I bought a cheap bolt.
Here is a good chart that explains the different grades, but all stainless bolts are grade 2 from those stores.
