Frugal Folks Please Help (Bolt Snaps)

[350xfire]

OK, cheap bastards like me please help... I need to make a stage rigging and would like to know the best source for stainless bolt snaps. In looking at this, these are the most expensive parts and if I am going to spend $10+ for each of them, I might as well buy the complete set from Dive Rite or someone else. Leisure Pro has them for $30.

So, is there a place to get them for, lets say, $5 or so. I would like the large type of bolt snap. I think 4.75 in.

Thanks

I got mine from Lowe's or Home Depot where I get all such HW. Never any problem with the SS HW. Brass HW usually has SS springs but not always.

Lowe's diving department has the best boltsnaps. Yellow bins marked "Marine Grade". SS springs and nice smooth action after many saltwater dives.

Recent customer. Prompt and gracious service dealing with a shipping issue. Snaps appears high quality and the size I was looking for.

In the last 12 months I wore out 27 cheap "stainless" snaps and needed to keep them lubed to prevent corrosion, while I had one marine grade stainless that lasted through every dive. To me cheap weren't worth it.

Does someone else have trouble getting that link to work or is this at my end?

Being this a thread as old as it is, yeah, the link doesn't work. Northernone -- seemingly more experienced than either of us -- probably has been familiar in the past. However, my Google-fu is pretty good. They're probably talking about this site:
