I have a Fastenal down the steet anyone use anything from them, it would just be convenient as hell if they have stuff we use.
 
They're not bad, but they're not great. I was excited when I heard they'd joined Holo-Krome because I thought it meant their quality would be brought up to made-in-USA standards, but unfortunately the reverse happened and now I'm stuck buying the more expensive Unbrako for applications where Holo-Krome was once suitable.

They're fine for screwing down scales, which really isn't a demanding application.
 
I find them expensive.

They won't carry what you need in store, everything will be an order in.
Then you are stuck with it if it's not what you need.
 
Versus the only other close option to me (hardware stores both small and large box) the fastenal has the most on hand in the highest quantities for the cheapest price. And usually better than the junk at other places. If I need better fasteners, I drive a bit but the local fastenal supplies industry so their stuff they stock is generally good. For my use anyway.
