Some links here are referral links. If you buy through one we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend — bulk fastener suppliers are usually cheaper than either marketplace, and we say so below.
What we cannot tell you
A bulk fastener supplier will beat both of these on a bag of two hundred M6 nuts, and if you have one near you, use it. Stainless A2 costs more than zinc-plated and is worth it on the bolts you will undo again. Pack sizes above are typical rather than quoted, so check what a listing actually sends before you order two of them.
What you print
For reference, so the two lists sit together. The files themselves come with the rack.
