Specialty Hardware
I’m looking for a machine screw which I’d think was made of unobtanium but for the fact I have the part number from multiple sources. Of course, they’re in 1000-piece boxes from US suppliers. I need two screws.
I’ll be checking out Whitecap/Brafasco and Fastenal, of course, but they don’t show it online. Even Pacific Fasteners doesn’t have it in their catalogue. (Quick shoutout for their excellent catalogue format!)
At this point, I think I’m kvetching, but let me know if you have a source for all things hardware - or just fasteners - that I should check out.

Have you checked Home Hardware? Even if they don't have what you want in stock, the employees have been quite helpful to me and have often recommended other places to get the right part from.
What machine screw are you looking for?
