This is nuts!

We have a Fastenal in town, and sometimes prices are pretty good. Create an account to get better prices. Buying boxes of 100 at Fastenal tends to be a lot better than buying boxes of 10/25/50 at McMaster.

I wouldn't use Gr 2 on anything I cared about. They are noticeably weaker than Gr 5 & there is not much of a price difference. Having said that. a gr 2 nut is better than a gr 2 bolt.

The counter guys at Fastenal have some discretion on which discount multiplier to use so it is worth making friends with them & talk about what you are doing. Especially if you have an account set up so you don't have to do that every time you order. They also prefer lots of some qty rather than onesees/twosees

The price you pay ends up being $18.30 + $11.50 as a pick-up-in-store fee. Still cheap, but I was expecting no additional charges if I picked it up in-store.
