Nut & Bolt supplier?
After the supplier I ordered a shed load of bits went bust today...I'm after somewhere else for my bits!
I'm needing...
Nylocs, nuts, set bolts, normal bolts, rivnuts, washers, allen headed bolts....
I had about 100 of each ordered but I don't need that many, just following Steve's advice to stock up while I could!
Any recommendations please? I'm in a bit of a hurry for it all now and even tempted to use Screwfix....

as said, for the metric stuff you won't get cheaper than screwfix but the range is fairly limited.

Thanks for replies guys.
Screwfix, Namricks and Wrights don't appear to do rivnuts though?
Is there a one-stop shop for all?
Thanks again

do screwfix obtain their cheese bolts from same manufacturer as B&Q, if so, I';d be wary of using them for anything other than ornamental
purposes.
there is a fastener place that would ahve all the stuff you want and more but it is local to me so no use for you. I daresay they will post but....
