Title: Sears Hardware store
Post by SuperSavage on 07/10/11 at 22:47:29

Sears hardware carries a lot of stainless steel metric nuts and bolts for jap bikes. they also have bins with various doodads for the fabricators or modifiers in the crowd. I have replaced many bolts with new allen wrench bolts. I would rather carry a mutiple key wrench than various standard metric wrenches. Plus, I think they look better than hex heads for the most part

A fastener supply store will have the same stainless stuff for less.

Hope the cheap chi-com bolts are better than the cheap chi-com tools they carry now. I've broken four 1/2" sockets now on ONE bolt. >:(

I've got a 60 year old set of Proto sockets that my grandpa kept in his pickup (which is at my house). We have tools on the farm that were made in the 1800s that work great.

I usually grab whatever socket set is handy when I'm working on my antique truck engines. Guess I need to break out some of my good tools to pull the exhaust/intake on my 230 flathead 6, cheap tools keep breaking.

Savage is the same way, if I use a cheap (Sears or other chi-com junk) tool, the tool breaks.
