What is a good source of bolt snaps and double enders? Most LDSs around here want $15 a pop and this is bit much. Any good online order place?
 
Lowes has marine grade stainless bolt snaps and double enders. Home Depot does not.

At least that's true around here. YMMV.

One of these is a "marine grade" bolt snap from Lowes with 50 dives on it. The other is "marine grade" from my LDS and has >400 dives on it... care to guess which is which?

Hint: yes, the one on the right is stuck open and yes, those are marks where the bolt snap is actually worn down from being attached to a d-ring.

Piranha usually has good prices on quality hardware as well. Even better when they have a "Hot Deal" sale going on.
