Stop in for a cup of coffee

So i went to lowes to get some bolts to replace a few missing bolts to put the engine stand together but i discovered the weirdest thing.

They don't stock 9/16 bolts. The bolt isle has 1/2 inch then it jumps to 5/8". When i asked about 9/16, the guy said they have to be ordered, and are expensive.

So i bought the 5/8" and drilled the holes out so they fit.

Lowe’s here doesn’t stock anything grade 8. And grade 5, only goes up to 1/4 inch.

Home Depot only stocks grade 5 and below. But all the way up to 1 inch.

I go to Tractor supply or rural king if I need it the same day. Cheap and they stock grade 8 up to 1.125 inch diameter and as long as a foot(que Karl).

if you’re not in a rush, McMaster Carr has decent prices on bulk stuff
