| Best Source For Hardware EVER!!!
Just wanted to let you guys in on my dirty little secret on where to get hardware in bulk. www.mcmaster.com They have it all. From metric threaded rod to set screws to general fasteners, both hex head and standard phillips and flat head. The small M3 and M4 lock nuts we use, washers, everything! Scratch builders and fabricators should LOVE this site. Who knows, maybe driving down the price of hardware might help lower the cost of a few items???..... |

If you think mcmaster is a deal try these guys. More options and better prices. They ship just as fast also. I use mcmaster for my material purchases but fastener express gets all my hardware orders http://www.fastener-express.com/ |

| Ya know what dipschit I find it personalty offensive that you wanna call me a jackass for showing you that you could save some money and get some good service elsewhere. The idea of a forum is to share good info with our crawler buds and to key people into good places to buy parts |

| I'm glad you found them. As an ex-facilities guy, I've been using them since ~1980. I also found they were great for the RC hobby as well. Since their closest warehouse is in south NJ & I am in north NJ, if I order before lunch I can get parts later that day or the next day most times. There are some cheaper sites, but MC is pretty decent for lots of things. Oh, and please don't cop a frikkin attitude to other posts in this thread......you won't like most forums if you do. Just saying. Thanks for letting others know about MC, they may not have done a search here. |

| Whatever. You guys and your stories. I suppose the next thing you're gonna tell me is that you can access a vast amount of information, news, and media, and talk to people all over the globe from a computer set up right in your very own home. Yeah. That'll be the day... |
