Anybody know of a source for stainless steel bolts and hangers other than Fixe Hardware and Rapbolting.com? Both firms are sold out on stainless steel bolts and most hangers - perhaps the threatened trade war is starting to have its consequences.

My garage for hangers. Bolts, others have places.
Munge climber has a place near his house. I guess say you work for John clink to get the contractors special.

I need to check on my supply of hangers.

I was saving them to fix mr muds routes.
😉

Rapbolting.com, damn that’s great.

Mutualscrew.com

Slogan is - It's better when it's mutual.

No idea on hangers.
Fixe always has the best price but all they have had is 1/2" on sale now for months.

Guess we might have to resort to climbing established routes.

I think there's still a few I haven't done

climbtech appears to have hangers at 2.69 but that is a bit more than I usually pay

JC,

Thanks for the recommendation on Mutual Screw. I just placed an order for the Powers 304 stainless steel anchor rating wedge bolts. I have heard the Hilti bolts wedge bolts are better, but Hilti closed their local store in Fresno and does not do direct mail order. I still have enough hangers for the time being and I need painted hangers, which Fixe does still have but they are more expensive.

My most knowledgable source for bolts and bolting gear said this about the Powers bolts:

"The Power-Studs have gone downhill relatively recently. These days the threads are cut, not rolled, which reduces the strength pretty substantially. So I'm not recommending those."

I was going to order some, but backed off after that "recommendation."

That is correct

climberdude · « **Reply #972 on:** June 12, 2018, 07:47:24 PM »

I think Brad's source has this wrong according to several mechanical engineers I have spoken to. Cutting threads on an item is a very expensive and time consuming process compared to rolling of threads. I doubt a company who is mass producing bolts would want to intentionally do something that is more expensive and time consuming unless it was by special order or at a much higher expense. Their guess is that Powers is rolling threads just like everyone else except very high end bolts (we are not buying these very high end bolts).

Brad Young · « **Reply #973 on:** June 12, 2018, 07:50:37 PM »

I trust my source. I don't think he's guessing. Since you are so public-service minded, you'll be able to talk to him directly on Saturday.

Looking forward to seeing you then!

climberdude · « **Reply #974 on:** June 14, 2018, 12:43:28 PM »

Thanks Brad. It might be a mute point since Fixe and Hilti bolts are basically unobtainable at this point. So we are down to Powers wedge bolts and Powers 5-piece bolts. I am getting tired of the problems with the new design of the Powers 5-piece bolts causing botched placements.

clink · « **Reply #975 on:** June 14, 2018, 06:23:53 PM »

Powers 5 pieces of shet.

mynameismud · « **Reply #976 on:** June 14, 2018, 06:26:18 PM »

Powers has been purchased by DeWalt. I just bought a large bag of 5 piece. And, hangers. Think I will go climbing tomorrow. Yeah, me.

Powers is owned by Black and Decker.
Black and Decker also owns DeWalt.
DeWalt is nothing more than Black and Decker in a yellow box.
Word.

That is like saying a Cadillac is just a Chevy Spark with a different paint job.

What about climbers in orange shirts?
