M6 x 1.0 stainless steel cap nuts aka acorn nuts were $2.39 each at Ace and I need 14. They had 3 in stock. Would have been about $36.00 with tax.

Went to Amazon and got a 50 pack for $5.39 with 4.7 out of 5 star reviews and free shipping.

    The prices on specialty hardware are ridiculous. I hate Amazon, but that’s my go to, and I just keep a wide variety on hand at all times. Aliexpress is great also, or at last it was before the tariffs.

      Thing is though a lot of times I can only find bulk versions online. Feels wasteful to get 50 of something when I only need 2 and am never going to need them again.
