Anyone have an outlet for stainless, brass, copper screws and basically anything fastener wise?

Does anyone need any of these items, enough that we can double up teh order and save some money? Just wondering.

I need some short stainless steel, tapered head, self tapping screws for a car project.

    Mcmaster.com and don't look back. Never needed a fastener that they didn't have. Local enough that you'll have it next day, too.

    With the internet at your finger tips, I'm having a hard time figuring out why you asked this question. But hey, that's just me.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    I'd go with McMaster-Carr, Mark. They have anything you could think of and alot you you can't. Their prices are normally lower than that of their competitors, they have an excellent turn around on orders and good customer service. I've been using them for years...

    You can use a search engine to find out pretty much anything, but to get more sincere, and more personal answers and reviews...I always go to the people I associate with or ask on forums I visit frequently. With fasteners...there are too many distributors to sort through, that being said, I wanted to add also that Mcmaster-Carr is always my go to, rarely do they not have what I need. Their cust service is top notch, sometimes their quantities are more than I need but this is where I believe the OP was addressing an issue.

    I'm always up for a group buy if there is something of interest.

    Yeah, just entering the word FASTENER didn't do it for me intellectually.

    As others have mentioned, Mcmaster and Fastenal. There are others but these are what I use. Mcmaster has Solidworks models of some of their hardware so it's great for design work.

    I'm going to need about 20 small hose clamps (3/8 inch) from Home Depot for a hot tub repair I'll be implementing this weekend. Maybe we can team up for a discount? PM please.
