These black steel placard mounts are perfect for restaurant specials, place cards, or more permanent signage. Two very tight 1" tall clips are mounted on an approx 2" x 11/16" base with good'n'sticky self-adhesive foam on the bottom. Also drilled with (2) small holes if you want to nail or screw through the foam.

Is it spring? Well, it’s a spring. This steel extension spring is technically a “short throttle return spring” and measures 2-1/4" long x 7/16", but it will be just as happy returning anything else if your throttle is already back where it belongs.

Quick Links from Stanley® are zinc-plated steel chain links that can be slipped over existing, welded links and tightened with a thumb-nut. Measure 1-7/8" x 1/2" inside, and open to just over 1/4”. Rated for moving loads of 770 lbs, or a stationary load of 1500 lbs.

Your ordinary generic everyday plain old steel hinge measures 2" long x 1-1/2" wide when open with a 1/8" axle and mounting holes just a hair under 1/4". Comes with screws, as they will. Ordinary, yes, but necessary.

A fatal yoga position? Crocodile moves? Nope, just a shiny steel snap hook, 3-1/2" long with a 3/8" ID, attached to a 3/4” ID swivel, the better to hook your keys on whatever you hook your keys on.

A whole bunch of tips, actually. These are white plastic tips, 5/8" long x 3/8” ID, in packs of (4), so you’ll get a total of (40) of them in each order. Want more tips? Buy low, sell high, eat more fiber, and never invade Russia in the winter.

1-7/8" dia. green, brown or orange hard plastic balls with a 1-1/4" ID x 1-1/2" deep hole on one side. Use them as slippery chair feet, as knobs on the ends of levers or tops of canes or even as protective caps for sharp pole ends. The tapered inner veins will provide a tight friction fit. You get an assortment of colors.

That would be us. Nuts from America? That would be these made-in-the-USA locking nuts, 1-1/16" hex with an 11/16" - 12 thread, and just under 7/16" thick.

No, O-rings. Get ’em here, because we got ’em. These black rubber (neoprene, we believe) O-rings are nominally 1-1/2” ID and 1/8” thick, and made in the USA. Use them for crafts, tiny ring toss games, in dioramas or dollhouses, as vibration pads, or in actual O-ring applications. Because, after all, they’re O-rings.

It’s not for your serious security needs, but it will probably keep a 9-year-old out of his sister’s diary. Our smallest brass padlock measures 1-1/4” tall with a 5/8” shackle, and comes with (2) tiny keys. Lose your keys much? Lock them to a belt loop and put the key in your shoe.

The world of surplus works in mysterious ways. Here we have assorted V-shaped aluminum channels 5-3/4" long x 5/8" wide across the 120° Vs. Picture these nestled behind glass thermometer tubes, imprinted with assorted scales, each with a small mounting hole at the top, maybe tiny crimp-clips to mount the thermometer that isn't there, and a diamond-shaped opening at the bottom for the glass bulb that also isn't there. Then add your own thermometers, use them as teaching aids, string 'em together for tracks or marble runs, or get really creative.

Just clamp it. These extra large steel hose clamps measure 1/2” wide and open to a max 5-1/4” dia. They tighten down to approx 4-1/4” dia via a worm drive.

Large plastic hook, pointed on one end, blunt on the other. We have no idea what it was made for. Some suggest a meat hook in a pet food factory, which the shape supports. But the red or white plastic suggests not. Maybe it is for veggies? A loyal reader is convinced that it goes over a door and bananas are hung from it. Sounds good to us. The blunt end is shaped to hang over a square beam, 1-1/4" or so thick. The other pointy end, when the hook is so hung, will be 3" from the beam top, and will point out 3" and up @ about 15°. The whole is made of 3/8" dia plastic rod. You figure out what to do with it.

In big quantities. And dirt cheap. The dark brown plastic, 1-11/16" squares with one corner cut off at a 45° angle are approx 1/16" thick, with a raised center square, a 9/16" hole in the center, and peel-off really-self-adhesive backing. For art projects, air vents for snake cages, wall plates for cable runs, or something. Please.
