welcome to our first post

Hello everyone and a warm welcome to our online hardware and fastener blog.

So what’s it about? …  well hopefully it will be a fairly light hearted way of passing on some general info about fasteners along with plenty of hints and tips on how to use them, stuff which is well known to us in the industry but maybe not too obvious generally. We’ll be chatting about allsorts such as how to size fasteners properly and what do all the various sizes and codes mean, how to recognise different grades of steel, what the different plating finishes are, what to use to fix timber to bricks, and so on. Its all designed to educate you guys a little more about the fastener and hardware industry and take away some of the mystery about which fixings and fasteners to use for your projects, we hope you find it useful and of course we’ll be passing on any interesting scrooz news as we go, if theres anything specific you’d like to know then leave us a comment or drop us an email through our main site.

thanks

    What are the most popular sizes in grade 8 bolts? I would like to upgrade my assortment in my hardware store and would like to know what sizes I should bring in.

    hi samantha
    pretty much depends on your type of customer but in metric the most popular sizes for general DIY use are 8, 10 and 12mm diameters from 25mm through to 100mm long, 16mm and 20mm is also popular but more for the trade guys and structural stuff, but of course you’ll never have the right size to suit everyone :-)
