2,625 Piece Grade 8 Hex Head Cap Screw, Nut, and Washer Assortment Starter Kit
A fleet shop or industrial maintenance team running Grade 8 UNC hardware for the most common bolt sizes — 1/4" through 1/2" — gets every size it needs in one 40-hole metal bin, organized across five diameters. At 2,625 pieces, this starter kit is the right scale for a single-station shop or a team that doesn't need the full eight-diameter spread of the 72-hole kit.

Best For
- Fleet maintenance shops — Grade 8 UNC 1/4" through 1/2" covers the majority of vehicle chassis, suspension, and frame repair fastener needs
- Construction and equipment crews — structural connections and field equipment repair where Grade 8 strength and coarse thread are standard
- Agricultural operations — equipment repair and implement maintenance requiring high-strength hardware in the most common imperial sizes
- Single-station industrial shops — operations that need the full 1/4" through 1/2" Grade 8 UNC range without the footprint of the 72-hole two-bin setup
- Shops stepping up from the 24-hole kit — adds 7/16" and larger quantity depth for teams burning through fasteners across more diameters
Need 9/16" through 3/4" coverage too? Step up to the 3,110-Piece Grade 8 UNC 72-Hole Starter Kit for all eight diameters in a two-bin setup.
About Grade 8
Grade 8 is the highest-strength SAE fastener grade commonly stocked in repair and industrial environments. At 150,000 PSI minimum tensile strength, it's the right choice for high-stress connections, structural applications, and anywhere Grade 5 isn't strong enough.
The yellow zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor shop storage and outdoor or under-hood use. UNC coarse thread is the standard for most structural and heavy-duty applications — faster to assemble than fine thread and less prone to cross-threading in demanding field conditions.
Need fine thread for suspension, engine, or precision work? See our Grade 8 UNF Assortment. Already have a 40-hole bin and just need to restock? The Grade 8 UNC 40-Hole Refill has the same 2,625 pieces without the bin.
Starter Kit vs. Refill — Which Do I Need?
| Starter Kit | Refill | |
| Fasteners (2,625 pcs) | ✓ | ✓ |
| USS flat and lock washers | ✓ | ✓ |
| 40-hole metal bin | ✓ Included | — Already own one |
| QR-coded labels | ✓ Included | — Already have them |
If this is your first purchase, this Starter Kit is the right choice. If you're restocking an existing 40-hole bin, the Grade 8 UNC 40-Hole Refill provides the full fastener load without new storage.
