xagent Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm looking for a longer flat head 5-40 screw, they are a bit hard to find around here, anybody have a source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 You can google them. Usually in a 100 piece box though but they are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Shipping is the killer, but McMaster-Carr, grainger and the like should have what you want . Online order, delivered to your door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop414 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 ACE Hardware has great selections in our neck of the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvinc78 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 +1 for Ace Hardware also check out any hobby store that sells RC cars and planes as they sell a lot of small screws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Mcmaster is awesome in a pinch. Generally if you order by 3pm it will be on your doorstep the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashdown Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ace Hardware, Fastenal, any other fastener store local to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 My ACE usually has everything I'm looking for but they do not have these screws. It is worth checking your local store though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xagent Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Awesome, great help. I've found it hard to find the screw with the fine pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Mcmaster is awesome in a pinch. Generally if you order by 3pm it will be on your doorstep the next day. We get the delivery same day, in the afternoon, by a courier. Places like Ace might sell lower grade screws, you need to check the material. 316 steel is your best bet.

jdmmax Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Small screws like a 5-40 i just head down to the local hobby shop. Rc cars use these screws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parallax3D Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Grainger has a lot of local branches. Go to their website and see if their is a branch near you. I think I paid about $5 for a box of 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterkhan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 +1 for the hobby shop. My local has them in a variety of tooled heads and head sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
