For the same reason people can't throw their trash in the trash can two feet away, but just toss it on the ground. Brain dead. And yes, always check the adjacent bins.
TSC hard to beat, imo.... buy nutz n bolts by the pound!HD is iffy at all the locations . I prefer shopping at Lowe’s if I need to go to a big box store . For bolts and small stuff my first choice is Trading post hardware in liberty ny . Second would be tractor supply .
I actually went to HD in Kingston yesterday bought a 3 drawer base cabinet in unfinished beech wood . They had 4 in stock ,all damaged ,found one that was minor the store manager gave me a 50% discount on it .
noone said they were Grade 8's! lolI have three, three-point hitch Howard Rotovators, (industrial rototillers) and they really torture the rotor tines that are each bolted on with two grade 8 bolts.
One time on a Sunday I bought 100 grade 8 bolts from Tractor Supply and bolted on a bunch of new tines on one of my Rotavators to get ready for a big job on Monday. Boy was that ever a mistake! Those bolts caused me all kinds of pain-suffering and expense as they failed one by one. Those china TSC bolts are junk!!
I never made THAT mistake again! I stocked up on bolts from my nut/bolt supply house that just sells "quality" American and Canadian fasteners! I've never had even one of their bolts fail, and over the years I've bought a LOT of bolts from them.

or for. i usually have trouble both places finding anyone that can help! HD especially -I buy most stuff at Herzog's... Lowe's and HD are the back up locations! I feel sorry for the shoppers who want to DIY but don't really know what they are looking at... so much merchandise has been "re-shelved" by customers into the wrong place that if you go only by the shelf labeling you're screwed! Herzog's has that re-shelving problem too but their staff actively correct the problem.
My father got a lot of deals at HD over the years by trolling the isles. I think the Cub Cadet zero turn was the best... a customer bought it and returned it as it didn't run right. The manager showed my father it didn't run right. Due to negotiation and a staff error my father got it for $1,500 with a few hours on it. He figured that getting it for a bit more than a third of it's original price made it worth the risk. It turns out that it ran fine with high octane non-ethanal fuel. There was nothing wrong with it!
i usually just go to my fastener boxes. nuts, bolt, washers, locks, screws, this, that... big little...
what did u want him to make it out of? 1/4" plate....That new mount is impressive! Makes the rest of the machine look inadequate!

Garbage bug infested pallets I wouldn’t even bring it into the houseYou look to be burning high quality kindling there. I would chop it up and use it.
Rip off misleading. While I do get 7/8 stuff and it is only in grade 8 the lag bolts or lag screws whatever the correct term is are silver colored and down with the grade 2 stuff but ring up at grade 8 pricing. That is the pricing take it or leave it.TSC hard to beat, imo.... buy nutz n bolts by the pound!
You lost me with that answer...noone said they were Grade 8's! lol
