screws that come with the devices

[wyreman]

Looking to buy the screws that come packaged with new outlets/switches etc.
The ones you can throw or save when you put a device into an IRC.

Thread Forming and Cutting Screws
Combination Robertson and Phillips​

any ideas where to get these screws in bulk?
didn't find 'em at grainger, supply house or hDepot.

thanks!

If you are talking about switch or recpt plates, the last time that I checked a box of 100 screws was about the same price per unit as buying both the plate and screw together.

Any 6/32 will work if it's long enough.

Correct. I misread the OP.

Try Sears or a small hardware store.

If you're looking for the exact same screws, just root around in my pouch. I'm sure there's a couple hundred of 'em mixed up in it all.

Otherwise, try Fastenal or McMaster Carr.

I'll try those. Thanks. Looking for some new distributors for stuff like HID caps and ignitors. Our guys just usually want to sell us the kits when a cap might be all you need. Someone told me "northwest" sold the caps. Haven't tried tofind them yet.
