Getting the Wheeling Fever

I went to my local bolt supplier (Barnhill Bolt in Albq) to buy some M12x70 1.25 bolts so I could mount my 22R project block to an engine stand. This fine thread is not sold at regular hardware stores that I have found. In June 2002 I bought 4 for the same purpose and paid $3.24 each and I thought that was too much, but I could get them without waiting. Today, they wanted $7.19 each! Bolts are no longer expendable.

Anything made of steel is no longer expendable. The discussion about China addresses this.
Gotta change the consumer mindset a bit.

Try Napa if possible. the local place I use to go to always got me a good deal on hardware. Not the Ace hardware $1.00 each price either. A handfull of what I needed for like $3.50.

SMP,
Does NAPA have a good metric selection? SAE stuff is so much more available.
I remember when I was a kid in grade school (mid '70's)learning about how America needed to embrace the metric system. Well, bolt distributors seem to be lagging the market.

Ours up here have a pretty good selection. Stuff like head bolts is another story. Then it's industrial hardware SAE time.

Our local ma & pa True Value has a whole aisle of them specialty bins that have the slide out drawers full of great hardware. True that my M12x1.25x120s cost over $20 for 4 but they had em! Hows about a reduction stud measuring M8x1.25 on one end and M10x1.25 on the other? Yup used one of them to correct a problem on the 4Runners exhuast manifold.... $.96 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I can spend hours in the aisle and spend hard earned on things I dont need but have got to have! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Good thing my wife loves me (I think). ~Darin <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />
