Boxes of woodscrews?
 

Can't seem to find any decent online places here for woodscrews in box quantities of 100/200 like in the UK. I am sick of getting ripped off by Lowes by paying dollars for 10 or 20 screws at a time.

Any ideas?

I'm surprised that your local Lowes (or Home Despot - cheers Mo) doesn't carry them in bulk. IME they generally have the same thing in three places at three different prices - but I must admit to never having shopped for bulk screws at one of the big box places.

Alternatively, have you got any local, proper, hardware stores? I buy cabinet screws, etc by the pound at my local lumber yard. Stuff like 6d nails etc I get by the big box. And... the best bit is, rooting around at the back of the shelves I found a bunch of the green plastic boxes of Spax screws. German mfr and, imho, the best wood screws you can get.:thumbsup:

We just completed a large project and we were able to buy large boxes of screws at Lowes. They call these contractor packs, and they are usually in a different aisle than the regular hardware; ask a clerk.

There are huge piles of screws, even upto 1000 packs in Lowes and Home Depot. You might want to ask around a bit as you might be in the wrong section. If you can't find exactly what you want there, see if there is a True Value Hardware nearby. They often cater to smaller contractors and have some odd sized items.


(I'm looking at about 10 boxes of 200ct+ nails and screws right now on my shop table mostly from Home Depot).

Weird, my local lowes has massive boxes, some measured by weight because there are so many screws/nails in them. Don't know how many screws you get in a 5lb box but it looks like a lot and way more than I'll ever need in my lifetime!

Re: Boxes of woodscrews?
 

Home Depot definitely sells large packs of screws by weight. Would be very surprised if Lowes didn't.

Ditto.. DH just bought tons and built a fence. Just asked him where they came from: Lowe's.

try a local hardware store?

My local one, you can buy nuts/bolts/washers/screws etc individually, in packs of 10, 100 or 1000 for the trade folks.

I buy from Fastenal

Thanks all.

I will check out the suggestions. I did find some boxes in Lowes but still overpriced IMHO, about $5 with tax for a box, smaller screws like 8x1" had 100 in and bigger screws like 10x2" only 50.

Still seems like 2 or 3 times the UK price even taking the exchange rate into account.

Similar prices to Lowes, as far as I can tell.
