I have a knife and a multitool of an unknown Chinese brand that need replacement screws (originals lost/stripped). I have metric calipers and know that I'm looking for M3.5-0.6mm and M3-0.5mm screws. If need be, I know I can get screws with compatible threads from McMaster, but are there any other convenient sources that I may have missed?
The reason I'm asking is that the head sizes and shapes provided by McMaster are either far too big or far too small.
Edit: Alternatively, what's your experience with swapping M3.5-0.6mm for #6-40 and M3-0.5mm for #4-48, respectively?
