[[Front Wall]] The purpose isn't to have a container for every possible nut and bolt combination (there are too many). The purpose is to have a good enough range on hand so that we don't have to purchase new nuts and bolts just in case. Anything specialised will likely need to be ordered in and the excess will need to be stored in bulk storage. Bolts === Machine Screws, Self Tappers, Hex Heads, Parameters - Shaft Diameter (Thread Size): M1.5, M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6 and above - Head type: Counter sunk, Pan, - Drive type: Pozi, Phillips, Slotted, Hex, Allen - Lengths - Thread types: ... - Materials: Nickel coated steel, stainless steel, brass, Nylon M3 and below can be pretty easily shortened using a crimping tool. M4 and M5? can also be shortened but it does a fair amount of damage to the crimper. Hacksaws can also be used for shorten them but it is time consuming and requires work cleaning up the end of the thread.

We will focus on Metric threads but need to be aware that most US screws use UTS (Unified Thread System). Sometimes there are USS and SAE threads specified but these are usually just indicating that they are inch based threads and are actually UTS compatible.
