Where does everyone buy nuts and bolts?

I tried Screwfix for some bolts to fasten on my Sankey hitch, told them I needed 10.9's (Thats what I was told I needed), and they just looked at me as if I had just fallen out of the sky

Have you ever used their bolts or screws. Never knew you could snap a new M10 bolt so easy.

There are different grade/strengths of bolts, nuts and screws. If you use the lower rated they will snap easily. The higher the grade/strength the harder to snap. It is all in what you buy.

On the cheap ones you get from Screwfix and major DIY chains the tolerances aren't that great. The nuts often feel very loose, as if the threads are about to strip. And sometimes, of course, they do. They're OK for light work, such as fixing two body panels together, but in stress critical situations I usually order the actual Land Rover item by part number.

I would use 8.8 as standard unless its on something high stress the ill use 10.9 or even 12.9.
