McMaster Carr is a great place,

but they have so much stuff and whoever designed their web site and catalog definitely has a industrial mindset. Sometimes it is hard to determine from their descriptions if I am getting the right stuff. They do have fantastic service and selection for so many things you might ever possibly need.

For Stainless Nuts and bolts, I have found my best source is my local Hardware store. Here where I am, the True Value has imo, better selection, value, and quality in stainless. At the Ace, it is always iffy, whether they will have what I want. The nice thing there, is their individual piece prices are already better than Worst Marine. But, when you buy by the box, it's substantially better.
