I should probably take a set of your last order.

I restocked from TSC a couple weeks ago and left it on the scale at the store ::)

need to restock my bolt bin.


this place best pricing over TSC?

Title: Re: top locks
Post by: M4wdFab on December 12, 2016, 09:45:13 AM

i have found TSC good on small stuff, but expensive on 1/2" or larger 

you get into 2-3 bolts per LB it gets expensive quick

If you guys have grainger accounts check their clearance section.  I have bolt bags of 100 (3/8" - 5/8")  grade 8 top locks for a couple dollars when the switch suppliers.

i just put 105$ in bolts into my bin last night.


they now have pc/lb on the label so gives you an idea cost.  like 1/2x3 bolts you get 4 or 5 to a lb (more than FNL).   1/4 washers you get 160 / lb, way less than FNL

just placed another big order to fill up my bolt bin of all the ones i can never get local.  looked at prices and only about 15% increase from 2013 so not too bad considering

that's surprising. probably should stock up on hardware in general, I'm sure it's coming. feels like anything purchased now is an investment.

Title: Re: top locks
Post by: M4wdFab on October 15, 2021, 10:15:58 AM

i checked on amazon and price was about 3x cost for 3/8 via 15packs so that was no good.

I've been buying way too much lately on the justification that it isn't going to get any cheaper...

I'm in a garage group (mostly for organization inspiration) and many people are waiting 6+ months for new garage doors. Many people have new metal shops built, but no doors and resort to boarding up the entrance temporarily.

TSC is now 6.49 a lb bah, 100$ into my bin

displeased with this companies service, have moved to amazon for top locks. 


12 days and no contact on a 300$+ order  send email, they said, oh its shipping tomorrow maybe.

order came complete as ordered. 

i did screw up and ordered 2 items in fine thread, instead of coarse. 

requested RMA for return, 5 days not response.

lame

you lost my business.
