Restoration Hardware

[Empty Pockets]

I rescued a Walden 3150 1/4" drive ratchet. After a good cleaning and a little lube, it works well.

Does anyone have a source for reasonably priced hardware? When i rescued it, it was missing a screw. The screw in question is a 3-48 x 3/16 flathead.

My local hardware stores wants me to buy a full box. All I need is one stinkin screw.

Thanks in advance

Ebay will have several options with 3-48 threads.

Is there an Ace nearby? They sell single screws.

most of your hardware stores sell single screws.

Our local hardware (Ace) closed when the owner got ready to retire. He had the largest selection to odd ball hardware.

Often times if I were in for a single screw and it was a few cents he wouldn't even charge me. He said I'll make it back next time your in.

Our 2 local hardware stores dont have the screw in question, both have offered to order me a full box. Prolly going to go that route

Just checked McMaster Carr.. they have them but again must buy 100.. sometimes they sell in packets of 5 and 10, but not this size..

I can check my local Ace and send you one if you can wait?

Ace had stainless phillips 3-48 x 1/4" and 3-48 x 1/2, got one of each less than .50 total.. Send me your snail mail address on PM and I'll shoot them out to you...

Another option, sometimes you can get a sample. Ask, can't hurt.

Sometimes you've got to travel, and needing something as obscure as a this sized screw can lead you to check out the most wonderful stores in the places you visit.

Yes... now that is a great idea....
