"The Perfect RV'er Christmas Gift" ?

Try McFadden- Dale. They have hardware stores in Phoenix and around Southern California. If it is available they'll more than likely have it.

Got a list of folks traveling south that can haul some drop shipped gifts.

I'd love to find a source for small-size #6, 8 and 10 phillips head machine nuts and bolts but too often these kits have screws in the 1/4 5/16 unusable range.

boltdepot.com can supply all of your needs. Check them out.

The price is so good that I now only order quantities of 100. But for Mex with all of your tinkering order 1000.

Source for Screws... In Redford Mi. is a store where a friend of mine used to work.. Before his funeral that is. (Natural causes).

The old name was C*J Fasteners
The new name is Tradsman ????? (Fasteners?)

This company always has a few loose screws (And nuts) lying about,, Thousands of them in fact, if not millions.. Most any size you can imagine and more.


Now that is one company.. but there are several competiting companies in every city from coast to coast..

I cite them for two reasons.. one My friend worked their and 2, that's where I get my slide out toothpicks..er, quarter inch grade 8 bolts.

Sounds alot like this forum at times. :B

Gifts! Dang! Dumb!

Digital tire pressure gauge for duals? Maybe 150 lbs pressure max. Now to figure out which ones and where to buy. Don't care for stuff with weird size batteries.

Digital infra red thermometer, a super duper multi meter, a sherline scale, a hammock, a surprise itinerary for this springs trip.

Afraid to give something they already have. IR thermometers are a "some people" thing. Since someone else is offering to haul the gifts, I am mindful of the size and my pension is extremely mindful of the $

Custom made hammocks with wooden spreader bars and waxed cotton thread are heavenly. Made of ceda, silk, they are otherworldly. I might try and come up with a power supply and 30-watt UV lamp for ferreting out scorpions at night. Use SJO 18-gauge cord for the lamp power. SJO and related cord is near impossible to find down here.

You can buy UV LED flashlights on AliExpress.com that run on rechargeable LI or AA batteries for ferreting out those glow in the dark scorpions.
