Just got a big box o' holds from a cousin and I need some t-nuts to make my stairwell more fun. Any suggestions on where to get them? They came with bolts...

I got ours from a friend for like $.02 each which is really cheap. I think they're normally around $.07-.10. Maybe try to buy them off Ebay and save some money. I think the three pronged T-nuts are better than the four pronged. Not sure why but that's just what I hear.
Congrats on the holds!

theres a national company called Fasten All (or something like that) that sells them by boxes of 100 for ~$12. you'd probably need to bring one in so they know what exactly you're looking for b/c they sell all kinds of fasteners.

Get all the kinks ironed out before you build my wall there, Evil!

I've seen the ones that have the little screws on instead of the prongs. Has anyone used those? From what I've heard about them, they are more time consuming to put in but then they are in for good. Virtually no stripping out.

Yeah, I've used the ones that have three little screws. They work well, but they are more expensive and take a little bit longer to install.

we installed the ones with screws, on our outdoor boulder, and found that after a bit of use, the screws (being so small) have tended to not hold their biting surface, and loosen up. without the bite, they then push out the back when changing holds. of course, this is on a wall with a ton of changing going on.
