Best place for stainless wood screws?
As above looking for the best place for stainless wood screws, my Dads had a look on A2A4 and apparently theyre cheap on normal things but not them?
Any ideas?

If I could remember the French word for stainless I'd remember the web address of the Irish company I bought mine from!

I've got several boxes of these around if they are any good instead of the wood screws.
Make me an offer if they are.

I use Margnor fastenings near Guildford. Reasonably priced and good service, plus they will supply indvidually rather than buying boxfulls.

If you just want s/s and not marine grade then find someone in France to pick up a box from the Bricolage. They are sold side by side with standard Spax type and are really cheap.

I use these guys. The a4 screws, nuts and bolts etc at a few pence each are exactly the same as the ones you buy in a chandlers in a pack or 3 or 4 from holt or another marine name and pay a couple of pounds per pack. Great value.
