Hey guys, I'm planning a pretty big project (2nd floor addition above kitchen) and want to stock up on all required fasteners... curious where most of you purchase your fasteners from online? Was the customer experience good or should I just go to Home Depot? Thanks for the help!

Quality stuff, not the stuff that breaks under torque like the JUNK fasteners from HD/Lowes. __________________ If you think you can, or if you think you can't, you're probably right.

They have all types, and they seem to be quite a bit tougher than the ones at the big box stores. A bit on the spendy side, but breaking fewer of them makes up for it. Rob

Rob agreed re: price... similar to mcmaster carr. seems like most sites out there either look like they were put together by a 90 year old rain man, or they're 1/2 decent and charge an arm and a leg.
