Smart shopper! Very useful, can't live without them.

Not really smart.  It was an impulse buy at a local thrift store.  It
looked new and the price was right (about $10).  I don't really need
it as I have other calipers and micrometers:

Meanwhile never say never. Or always:

Nice.  However, I don't need such hardware very often.  Instead, I
just drive to the local hardware store and buy as needed:

They don't have everything, but between their inventory and my
disorganized collection of fasteners that I've accumulated over the
year, the arrangement works well.  If I need to order fasteners on
eBay, I usually order 100 at a time.
