Try a good hardware store, I used to carry a selection of various lengths and diameters, along with screws, in a couple flat assortment boxes in the fastener dept. | |

I generally agree, I get what I pay for. the question is more about the screw than its application, but I felt if I gave some context it would improve the chances of having the question be useful to others. "identify this" answers are hard to find without any context. | |
