    haha, I knew y'all couldn't avoid that thread title.

    I'm looking to purchase some silicon bronze screws, probably from Jamestown Distributers. My question: How many screws per box, from them? Is it 100?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    From what I can see and have been told, Hamilton Marine has bettah prices...check it out -

    Frearson 8 x 2.5 silicon bronze screws

    Hamilton = $22.50/100
    Jamestown = $25.80/100

    10 x 2.5 Frearsons

    Hamilton = $31.98
    Jamestown - $33.14

    I ordered my 10 x 2.5 bronze Frearson screws from Jamestown before I was told (here, of course!) about Hamilton.

    Perhaps screws alone are simply cheaper at one or the other, but it seems that price differences vary across the fastener line of these two vendors. If the difference (and quantity) is substantial, as I found recently when ordering boxes of screws, bolts, nuts, and washers, it may pay to order bolts from one, screws from the other, etc...

    Neither vendor can touch wholesale prices, though....we all could use a friend with a commercial account.

    Re: Jamestown minimum box size.

    Their box size depends on the screw, for example, many small screws only come in 100/bx, but medium size screws can come 10 or 25 or 50/bx, and most large screws and bolts are available 1/bx. Same with corresponding nuts and washers.

    Check out their Screw Selection .

    I have also had some success by calling them and talking them down to a smaller box size.
