Rawl bolts

Post by **kneebar** » Thu May 20, 2004 3:25 pm

I found 1/2" x 4 3/4" stainless bolts (Rawl 5-piece) SKU# 50095 for $6.00 each @ www.northernmountain.com They also have Fixe 1/2x6" bits for $5.00 each.

I have ordered other items from them before with no problems. The shipping is only $1.99 ground if you join there club.

thats damn pricy for those bolts! I emailed a local industrial shop that i bougt those bolts off of before. I think i got em for under 2bucks a pop. I asked for prices per bolt and box(25). I'll let ya'll know when they get back to me.

$6.00 for a Rawl 1/2 x 4 3/4 STAINLESS seems cheap. Mountain Gear sells them for $15.00. I think wholesell is about $7.00.

Disagree.
You guys are getting RIPPED off! HAHA!
I'm raking them in at $3.50 a pop.

Yeah, 6 buck for one bolt! why the hell would you waste your money like that.

the reason the ones your buying cost soooo much is because your buying them from climbing retailers. BAD IDEA! Find some type of industrial supply shop, like i did. Get them for a good price and dont let those other companies rip your asses off!

I only buy half a dozen or so at a time since I am just putting up anchors on trad.
But please post were you get the deals, I am sure other climbers would love to hear about it. That's a hell of a steal for the real deal!

personally, if you are having a hard time justifying the potential cost of 8 bucks a bolt for safety, then maybe you just shouldn't bolt the route!

So Eagleman what do you pay for 1/2 x 4.75 STAINLESS. not carbon steel which can be had for under 2 bucks.

Johnny, im fairly certian give or take 10 cents. but i buy 1/2inch by 3 1/2 in a case not a box. its best not to buy all at once not one here or there. just buy a case thats about 200 bolts

the prices change from time to time where i've bought my bolts before, i e-mailed the shop asking for price updates, i'll post the prices when i hear back from the shop.
