I don't know either, but they are way too expensive for me. I've needed odd fasteners before and called them. Wouldn't sell me what I needed, only a box or package..... usually like 50 in a box and I only needed 5 or something. Plus, they just overall wanted too much. I could order a box or package from McMaster Carr, have it the next day, pay the shipping and spend less. Even standard ol' everyday nuts and bolts cost more at Fastenall. They are my "last resort" when looking for a fastener. I'm lucky to have good "farm" and hardware stores near me. They might want 50 cents per bolt, but if you only need 4 or 5 it isn't bad. Better than a box of 50 for $25 or whatever.
