I have dealt with McMaster Carr for many years, and I regard them as my premier hardware supplier. If I want only one, I will try to see if the local Ace Hardware has it, but if I want more than 1 or two, McMaster Carr is the "go to" place - certainly I may have to buy in quantities of 10 or 100, but the price is right and the service in my location is "next day" for UPS ground shipping. If it is screws, thimbles, brass rods, copper sheet, or most any other kind of hardware, that is the place to go IMHO.
