fastenal. Every time I go in it's "We don't have it in stock, but we can get it for tomorrow" I'm always stunned they don't have simple bolts... M10x1.25 Anything they don't stock...

Brafasco always tells me "That's an automotive bolt, we don't carry anything automotive" I'm always saying "It's a standard flange head bolt.. what DO you have?" and they show me a grade 3 hex head -.-

Spaenaur on the other hand... "I need an M10x1.25 50mm length", then the hottie at the counter runs to the back, and comes out with what I need.

As for machine screws, RONA or Home depot carry a small selection.

And +1 for the metric idea. It's not practical to use fairy tale fasteners in a design.
