McMaster Carr.

• Extremely intuitive navigation
• Quite large selection of fastener sizes, and types
• Surprising amount of hardware available in 316 grade stainless steel
• Lots of torx head fasteners
• Good range of metric screws and nuts
• Very reasonably priced
• Shipping charges are not punitive

I just put together a seventy-seven dollar order that should qualify for no-fee shipping. I believe they have a plant in the Southeast.

I hope I live long enough to take advantage of such a diverse inventory. The danged LED chip screws are 3.5 x 4.0 millimeter. Sorta tough to find down here.

Thanks for all your input! I really went through every site adding lists, and noting shipping charges. But frankly it was the absence the unavailability of key fasteners that swayed me. Some sites are easier to navigate than others.

MC is great isn't it? Have been dealing with them for years and you can spend hours going through their inventory.

For general fasteners, not the specialized stuff you're looking for but standard bolts and such, it's hard to beat Rural King. None down that way but they sell the stuff by the pound if you're ever near one. I stay away because I tend to buy the stuff just to buy it, and the wife gets pissed when I have a cart loaded down with a few hundred pounds of nuts and bolts in baggies that I don't need LOL.
