Define "small quantity." :-)

You're not likely to find them at Grainger's in any quantity less than a box
of a hundred. To some, that *is* a small quantity; to others, it's not.

Yes, a box of 100 would be great. Even one of their variety packs,
100 each of a few different sizes, would be fine. I realize that
trying to buy 10 screws or something would be just about
impossible... I was just hoping for home handyman quantities, not
commercial cabinetmaker quantities. Any educated guesses whether
Grainger will sell McF's screws through their retail stores? Or how
separate do they tend to keep the companies they acquire?
Thanks,

I went by the hardware store tonight when the orange box did not have
what I wanted. They had homeowner quanties of one to a box of 100. I
walked out with 3 boxes of different sizes. If I finsih any project
all the screws wil be gone and a need for a few more boxes. If you
live in a town with a good hadware store they may have what you need
or can make do with.
