Default Online Vendor for Bolts & Hardware

Any suggestions for an online vendor selling bolts, nuts, screws, etc? I needed a couple of 5/16" sheet metal screws, and that's just too large of a size for my local Home Depot or AutoZone to sell. I'm sure that I could buy a small quantity at a higher price from Summit or Jegs, but I was curious if there is an online vendor that sells items like these in bulk. Thanks.

Yep, McMaster is one of the greatest things I've found for my restoration/modification project. It doesn't matter how random the bolt, they probably have it. Prices are really good on the big size hardware compared to local sources too (ie Body mount bolts, etc)

no need for account. just add to cart and click and pay!

A trick to Mcmaster is searching. Sometimes searching things in different order yields different results. I have found if I can't find a certain size in a bolt, research and click on the filters in different order will *sometimes* yield different results. Mcmaster is a very powerful tool to find darn near anything one might need!

Thanks guys ..... I hadn't even thought of McMaster Carr. I bought a few things from them 20 years ago. I poked around on their website today and will make an order soon. Thanks again!!!!

try the boltdepot.com

They have all kinds of stuff. They used to be a smalltown hardware store, but then when the big box stores cam around, it almost put them out of business. that's when they switched to just bolts.

The best thing with them is that they have no minimum buy
