Justin Reagan Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I found out some good news. We have a new Home Depot store about 25 minutes from home. I'm going to go there in a couple days, and I need to make a shopping list. Anybody have any suggestions on what bending stuff (nails, etc.) to buy? (to find out some info about me, just read my last 2 or 3 posts...) I have a feeling there is going to be a much better selection there than in the 2 or 3 local hardware stores. Any suggestions and ideas would be very much appreciated. I actually feel like I used to feel when we were planning a trip to the toystore (10-15 years ago).

dadams Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 go buy some grade 2 bolts 6in long by 1/4in, you should be able to do some of those, and if they are too easy cut them down. just keep at it. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmainlands Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I had good results from Home Depot by buying their 30lb tub of 60D common nails. The thing I don't like about HD is that they have no grade 5 or 8 bolts in the 6" length. Check out their section that has various 3 foot lengths of 1/4" and 5/16" hrs round, although you would be better off going to a steel factory if you have one in the area.

Justin Reagan Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 How hard are the 60d common nails, and how long are they? Thanks, Justin Reagan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadams Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 6 long by 1/4 thick, they are harder than a blue nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Reagan Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Maybe someday... :-) Thanks, Justin Reagan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Side Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Different six inch nails can vary in their difficulty, depending on the number of twists, as well as other factors. I have found nails harder than blue nails, and some that are easier than yellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermagnamon Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 the thing about HD is wait time to purchase something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisshirling Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 6 long by 1/4 thick, they are harder than a blue nail. ← Are these shiny ones with no twists? They come in the clear bucket? The only other 6 inch nail aside from the 6 inch galvenized spiral spikes with the green label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
