ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER

15 hours ago

Excellent assortment of nuts and bolts. Reasonable prices. I came in today with an idea for a project I’m working on. I appreciate Mark giving me a suggestion for a different approach. First time in the store and I will definitely be back for other projects. To the people leaving bad reviews about service…. I waited maybe five minutes, but for an extremely knowledgeable answer. This is much more than I would expect from a big box store. Something to be cherished in this day and age. Thank you!

KIND WORDS FROM A CUSTOMER TODAY

“Needed a 140mm bolt for a Nissan and even the dealer couldn’t locate one! Ordered about 8 different ones and all were wrong. Did some digging and found Marks Bolts and Nuts. Made a trip down and as soon I gave Mark the dimensions and specs I had the correct bolt in my hands! Amazing selection and service! We will definitely be back as I am sure we will need more stuff in the future. Thanks again Sir did the excellent service and having a next to impossible bolt in stock”

Thank you friend!

Wanted to share some kind words from one of our customers:

It seems Mark got a few reviews over one bad customer. There are always 2 sides to a story. Every time I go in, I go down different isles exploring ideas to projects I didn’t know had answers. Mark has a small shop and always tries to help point me in the right direction. Sewing machines have manufacturer specific parts. So do bikes. Be realistic folks. Does he have every answer or every nut and bolt? No. But neither did the store I just left. If you expect him to be God, and he falls short, Oh well, he’s human, just like me. That makes this a great store. An honest man being honest. I’m going back tomorrow for more supplies. Curt J. Decker, National Apartments, Inc.

CHAIN ACCESSORIES-WHAT IS SAFE?

Not all chain hardware is EQUAL!!!

One of the biggest mistakes I see is people using “Spring Links” for safety chain on trailers. They are so handy, easy to use, and pretty much WORTHLESS! For example … many people use 5/16 proof coil chain for safety chain. This size chain has a working load limit of 1900 lbs. Look at the load rating for 5/16 hardware:

5/16 Quick Link                 working load limit @ 1760 lbs

5/16 Repair Link                working load limit @ 675 lbs

5/16 Cold Shut                  working load limit @ 1250 lbs

5/16 Connecting Link        working load limit @ 1900 lbs

5/16 Screw Pin Shackle    working load limit @ 1500 lbs

5/16 standard S Hook       working load limit @   140 lbs

5/16 Spring Link                 working load limit @   507 lbs

Bottom line example ….. if you’re using chain rated at 1900 lbs and an attachment link rated at 507 lbs …… it isn’t going to do you much good if you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing to rely solely on the safety chains.  They’re called safety chains and they are required for a reason.
