Screws

Post by GeoSpectrum »

I like using the Reisser R2 screws for fixing d-rings etc and get them from B&Q in boxes of 200. I could do with buying in larger numbers, does anyone know of a supplier that does them in bulk? They don't seem to be carried by the framing suppliers.

Thanks

Have you tried Screwfix? Not for bulk so much but for price. Which I assume you want to reduce. :P I use loads of the little TurboGold ones.

Centrado (01480 445480) do them in boxes of 1,000.

They just appear in their price list as Countersunk Pozi Screws. It is only the 10, 12 & 16mm x 3 that they do in 1000's.

You should be on one of their weekly delivery rounds (probably Friday).
