Previously This Blows!
I’ve mentioned once or twice that the website Garage Journal is a source of inspiration and information for many of the things that I’ve done building the workshop. I’ve also mentioned that Garage Journal has cost me a lot of money.
One of the recent threads on Garage Journal mentioned that Grainger is having a closeout sale on a number of fasteners with extremely low prices. And they included a link.
So I “innocently” followed that link. And discovered closeout prices of 80%-90%+ off of regular prices. And the regular prices are pretty good.
So I started going through the closeout section in detail. Here is the result:
No, that isn’t the whole order. It looks like about 3/4 of it. A collection of bolts and socket head cap screws in stainless steel, Grade 5, and black oxide ranging from 1/4″ to 3/4″.
That fastener storage cabinet I just finished? Not big enough. Fortunately all of the new bolts are in bulk boxes, so I can stash them on a shelf.
