I need 60 5″ long stainless steel screws. Square drive deck screws would be ideal. I know they exist, I see them on Swan’s web site. I even see them in one pound boxes of about 30 per box. Problem is, I can’t find any place to buy just 60. I can find 100 for $60, or I can go to the boating store and buy them for $2 each. Although it is at least partially because I am cheap, it’s also because it’s senseless to have 40 screws hanging around the shop collecting dust. Does anyone know where I can buy two one pound boxes of 5″ stainless deck screws?

Sounds like an ad in craigslist personals.Source for long Stainless Deck screws. My deck is new, so I want to keep it clean. Pay 25/hr unless you're ugly.

Just saw that part of it. Cheap enough!
If you need 60, you need 75, and you can always find a use for another25

If you buy the 100 for $60 you could put the 40 left over on ebay for $30 and be ahead and let someone think they got a good deal over the 1 for $2 at the boat store

That sounds too cheap.
Packs of 100 a little over 7cents a piece and $5 for shipping.
Makes you wonder about the quality of the stainless.
Then again, sometimes Amazon can shock the snot outta you.
Buy the box of 100 and send the left overs to Piffin, then he can find them for the next person who needs some.LOL
