My dad got a bolt bin a few months ago and I want to get some bolts for it. Prob. 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 different lengths with nuts and lock washers. I want to get the most for my money and am willing to order online. I heard tractor supply sells bolts by the pound, but I don't if thats the best deal. I was thinking fastenal also but I really don't know. I figured my local hardware store is going to be the most expensive. What do y'all think?

agri supply in garner sells em by the pound also. probably the most bang for the buck in my opinion.

does he need a certain grade bolt?

^no specfic grade, just some basic stuff.

I live in Rockingham county north of G-boro. So agri-supply is a little drive. Right now I'm thinking tractor supply burlington may be my best bet.

AgriSupply has regular and extra galvanized, its all $1.99 lb I think. Wilders has some crazy off the wall shit if you happen to need a metric stainless lock nut.


TSC has the same deal, bulk is the way to go.

I once had the opportunity to buy out an entire hardware store's fastener section...cheap. Every time I spend $20 on a handful of bolts I kick myself.
