jad Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Anybody having trouble finding 6x1/4 inch Grade 5's or 8s check your local Farm and Home store. I couldn't find any 6x1/4" grade 5s at HD or Lowes so I checked at a Farm and Home store in a rural community close by since a lot of farm equipment calls for graded fasteners and they had them for 1.99/lb and grade 8's for 3.35/lb. This seemed pretty cheap to me compared to the prices of other graded bolts at HD and Lowes. I bought 2 lbs of the grade 5's and 1 lb of the Grade 8s. Now all I need to do is bend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) If you don't mind Josh, could you tell what that translates to a per-bolt cost? I haven't found grade 5's cheaper than 50 cents a bolt, and grd 8's I've found only at Ace Hardware for $1.09 each. Thanks.

I'll shoot you a response around 8:30 central time. I think they were so cheap because of the large quantities they sell. They were in a large plastic bin, not some little drawer like most of the graded stuff in HD and Lowes. This store is also in a small town so cost of living might be a factor as well.

GordonV Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Also check out Grainger link. They don't have G8s over 4" but they do have 6" G5s at $31 for a box of 100. Page 2700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Sometimes when I have bought G5's in the past, the girl at the register just rang them up at 60d nails and were .06 a piece. They normally go for like $.40 a pop around here at Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmmicklabs Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Home Depot is a joke. I get grade 5's at my Local Farm/Tractor Supply store for 2.30 a pound. That comes out to about 30 bolts for $ 2.30 instead of 40 cents a piece at Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
