Another week living at work, another week missing fastenal. Didn’t think of 9/16 bolts since Friday last week about this time when I verified that fastenal doesn’t have Saturday hours of any kind. Oops.

Silly that they don’t have any weekend hours. That’s what led me to look for other sources. Found a fastener distributor on eBay, and direct called the company. USA made bolts, not drops or seconds or anything, around 1/4-1/2 the price per bolt when compared to Fastenal. Shipping is usually fast with Priority, I can give you the info, unless your content with sourcing local?

Pressure washer fixed. Little piece of plastic jammed one of the 3 pressure chamber inlet valves open. May have been in there since new. Valve cage didn’t appear broken, no other source. Inlet screen intact.

RiverCity Fastener & Supply is the place I order from, the pic is a screen shot of half of my last order just so you get an idea of the prices.

I still get a few things locally, and nothing beats being able to drive out and get what you need that day either. But for stocking my bolt bin I haven’t found anything cheaper yet.

Most of us stock bin from TSC. Be good to compare to that price especially since it’s a trip to any TSC for me.

Makes sense. Closest TSC for me is a few towns over and a 45min round trip. It would be interesting  to compare prices, I bet TSC still comes out ahead.

Well I got some bolts even if they’re shorter than I want. Fastenal had one bag of 5 9/16 coarse between 4, 4.5, 5” lengths.

Fail.

Should look at Marc’s source.

Shit still deeply sideways at work. Not looking good to touch the car before the picnic.

Gotta swap bearings in the front hubs. I’m not tightening them for the third time this summer, clearly used up.

Didn’t order heims till yesterday. Not likely here till Friday or Monday. One 7/8x3/4 is toast. Other 3 are fine, I think they were new when I last touched that.

I have no more 7/8x3/4, and I think the one in there now was the best of smike’s spares. Typical me.
