Screw, bolt hardware suppliers

[warren57]

Trying to fill a hanging bin rack with common sized machine screws, sheetmetal screws, etc.
Can anyone suggest an online supplier?
I buy bolts, nuts and washers from tractor supply, they sell in bulk for just over $2 per pound. So, 1/4" and larger are no problem locally. But they don't sell bulk machine screws or sheet metal screws.
Local Lowe's and Home Depot sell them, but are pretty expensive.
I am only looking for about 100 each of each size.

Our local TSC has packs of sheetmetal screws like you want. Some are 100 count, 50 or 75 depending on size and length. They have them right above the nuts and bolts.

McMaster Carr. They have un unlimited supply and inventory. And their prices are hard to beat.

Fastenal would be an option, not sure about their pricing though

I've had very good results from various sellers on ebay, where I have purchased everything I've needed at great prices, and often free shipping. Give them a look, as most commercial fastener suppliers don't get interested in orders less than 500 pieces of each item.

+1 !

I "filled up" on nuts, washer and lock washer from 1/4" to 1/2" for a bit over $50. That was the magic number for free shipping !

Over the past several years, as I have need smaller fasteners (the correct terminology), I have usually purchased a box of 50 or 100 from a local supplier. Much cheaper than HD or Fastenall. I now have a good selection of #8, #10 and #12 machine screws, washer, lock washer and nuts. Phillips pan head or hex head sheet metal screws work well in wood or other soft material.

Buy plastic wall inserts in quantities of 100. MUCH cheaper ! These work surprisingly well on block/poured concrete walls and floors as long as the load is not too extreme. Use stainless steel sheet metal screws.

Fastenal is about like Grainger. Lots of inventory and lots of mark-up.

I found good pricing and free shipping at Fairway Fasteners. I ordered 3900 pieces (machine screws, flat washers, lock washers and nuts)
Total cost $53.66

I did OK with Fastenal--ordered a bunch for pickup at the local store. Got a lot of their sale/closeout stuff. Organized them in plastic boxes from HD I bought after Christmas last year. Got more pieces, in the sizes I wanted, for about the same as I would pay for assortments from other suppliers.

For bigger stuff I've been following the route suggested here over a year ago--I go to Tractor Supply and buy a few pounds of whatever size, in multiple lengths, I need for a project. Extras get put into a rack of bins. Been filling up the bins over the course of a year.

Give Amazon a look. They have tons of items and free 2 day shipping with Prime membership. Hard to go wrong.

I use McMaster a lot. Wherever you go if buying grade 5 and up be careful about imported **** that's not up to spec. I have a article with markings and description's but cant seem to find it.
A lot of **** out there.

They will make up kits of anything you want.

I use McMaster Carr a lot. They seem to have just about any fastener that you could think of. A local store, Quality Farm, has nuts and bolts by the pound and an extensive supply of stainless and regular cap screws, sheet metal screws, nuts, bolts, etc. If you live in an area where there is agriculture find out where the real farmers get their hardware. Tractor Supply targets "Gentlemen Farmers" and the "Horsy Set."

Terminal supply may be another option. I know they do the nuts and bolt part, not sure about screws and such.
