Review on SML C125 5000 4 Inch Pocket Screws - Pack of 5000 by Jacob Ferrarini

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bulk Pack Economy

I work a lot from home and have an irrational dislike for the plastic waste found in today's retail environment. I'm also not a big fan of paying for said plastic packaging rather than the actual product I'm interested in - in this case, Kreg screws. Zinc Plated Kreg Bolts with 1/4" Large Washers - Pack of 100 not listed by Revain so I used my local hardware store as a reference. 100 pcs. = $4.77 = $0.0477 250 pcs = 10, $97 = $0.04388 500 pcs = $19.49 = 0.038981200 pcs = $30.99 = 0.025835000 pcs Yes, unless you are a professional carpenter (or don't like screws), who needs like that lots of screws? Have you ever planned on using a box or two of screws? Could you just go to IKEA - breathe easy! In comparison, you get 2,878 "free" screws if you buy them in bulk, not in pieces 500 at a time Conversely, you'll pay (over time) $194.90 for the same number of bolts if you buy them in increments of 500. Yes, it's a shame to spend that much money on modest bolts at first, but You'll feel a whole lot better when this hefty box shows up at your doorstep and you they open to behold the myriad treasures (well, I'm guessing 5,000 screws) of Shiny Kreg's kindness to quench your mount cravings with pure energy. If you're a little more sane than the author, the 1200 option is a pretty good starting point too.
