The real power move is to grab one of those contractor buckets and use it as a shopping basket. Because how else are you going to keep all those loose nuts and bolts from going everywhere?
Look at Mr. Money Bags buying the specialty loose nuts and bolts.
They're like $2.50/bolt these days. God dam
It's also ridiculous the markup on fasteners. I used to work in nuts and bolts and the going rate was like 90-97% markup on fasteners.
To be fair, when you absolutely need that one or two special bolts to put your lawnmower back together, the markup isn't a big deal.
Otherwise, I'm buying stuff by the box, and starting to prefer metric more and more.
Cheaper than the ones that come in the little baggies.
