Buying M2.5 screws

bigmun

Hi

Does anyone know where I could get M2.5 (self-tapping, preferably) screws? I've tried looking on Homebase's site and B&Q's site, but to no avail.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I'm actually trying to avoid having to go on eBay. Is M2.5 not a size common enough to be available at DIY stores?

Try one of the othe suppliers Google throws up.

The smallest they have seems to be M3.

Website isn't working properly though, and won't let me search. They had ever screw going even 1 for my fellas motorbike when he sent me on a wild goose chase for an hour trying to find one!

they have a few depots over the northwest

Do you mean M2.5 - designation usually given to bolts. Or do you mean No.2 Self tappers? - designation usually given to screws? (Although they're 2.2 thread dia, rather than 2.5.)

Many fixings and fastenings shops/suppliers will do you pozi-drive No.2 self tappers. Maybe change your search terms and try Googling again?

I agree with Elfbert - M2.5 is a machine screw, not self-tapping. It's meant to go into a nut or threaded insert. I've always bought small screws like that from Maplin Electronics.

Small self-tapping screws should be widely available from DIY stores.

wow, that's some link.

To shorten a link, copy link,
in message type word you want to use, screw,
highlight screw,
then click wee globe/link icon above message box,
and paste,

and that gives you, screw.

If you want to jazz up a link, you can add some colour, make it bold, try this link,

rainbow.
