I'm looking to buy some figure 8 fasteners to use for table tops. I have no where locally to buy them so its off the the internet. I've found them at several sites. I'm really looking for the solid steel ones because I believe they will hold up better? am I wrong? I found these on Lee Valley
http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=2&p=50311&cat=3,41306,41312&ap=1
and I found these on wood workers Hardware
http://wwhardware.com/catalog.cfm/GroupID/Fasteners%20%26%20Screws/CatID/Fasteners/SubCatID/Desktop%20Fasteners
I noticed that wwhardware sells both a 18ga and 12ga? which one?
I like the quantity discount at wwh but lee valley has a good price too.. I don't know which would be better. has anyone used any of these or can recomend somewhere else. I plan on buying at least 40 or more if i'm going to have to pay shipping so I don't have to blow that $ again.
Anywhere else I could buy these from?
Thanks, Brett G.
