Something came up...
Added 2024-03-01 08:28:43 +0000 UTCBelieve me when I say I had every intention of shooting the next workshop update video today. But when a listing for several thousand bolts pops up on marketplace for $300 (AUD), it's kind of a drop everything and run moment.
All the red bins are metric, and there's a good whack of imperial in the blue ones. I'll have to get myself some new taps.
Here's to never going to the bolt shop again (although I guarantee the first one I need for a project won't be among this ridiculously large assortment).
Will definitely be speaking to the camera tomorrow, so I'll see you then ๐

I had a similar feeling in the US when I discovered the "clearance" section of the Grainger distributor chain. For less than 60 USD, I was able to get a large variety of (mostly) stainless steel bolts (almost all imperial) and lock washers (including silicon bronze - not sure when those will get used, but I have them!). The cost per bolt/screw was on the order of 0.001 - 0.05 USD. For stainless, including 18-8. Bonkers! Oh, and that was just at my local shop. I haven't yet looked to see all of the goodies I can get when I search nationwide for delivery.
