I also agree that the big box chains are probably not the best source for
screws but if you buy name brand screws from those stores you are going
to get better quality. While I steer away from prepackaged plastic bags
of screws from those type stores I have never had a problem with larger
bolts and lag screws providing they had proper sized pilot screws.


McFeely's may be a great source, but sometimes you need fasteners NOW. Not
tomorrow.


For many years now I have been buying from McFeeleys, but only to restock
what I have used from my inventory. I typically order 500-1,000 screws from
them once or twice a year. MUCH handier to have it on hand that to go the
store and buy them and are typically better quality.
