Title: Stainless steel snap fasteners
Post by: jojo on April 22, 2011, 07:03:07 am
Does anybody know where my best chance of getting these locally is? Would Home Depot carry this sort of thing? What other type of store would carry these? I need the part that screws into the boat.
Thanks!

   If you were around here, I'd say come on over as we stock snaps by the thousands.....
But, if its just a few, west marine sells them, and at a very high price..  I buy all mine from "DOT" fasteners online.. no account needed.. the only drawback is it takes a few days for delievery..

home depot and lowes are a no go for screw stud snaps. check the local marinas and West marine, but they charge a premium. Best is to order them online unless you are in a hurry.

You might find some for less locally at a Boat Owners' Warehouse, maybe Bass Pro Shop or Gander Mountain if they're in your area.  But look for "stainless steel snap studs" online for the best prices.

PS.  Pretty sure Ace Hardware carries them as well and they're just about everywhere.

$13.48/100 Rochford Supply has pretty good prices.  I check on their discount area often.
