Looking for a local place that sells metric rod couplers
I've been everywhere I could think of (including Tidewater Industrial Fasteners) and no one local has them. I'm looking for two 24mm long metric rod couplers (8mmx1.25) and it's kicking my ass. I've found them on-line but they require a $20 minimum order and I only need two. Anyone else have any ideas?
It looks like this, except real:
TIA

McMaster Carr doesn't have a minimum as far as I know, unless that's changed..
You'll get them the next day also, they pack/ship so fast and they aren't very far away so you can pay for ground and get it in a day. Good stuff.
McMaster has 19mm and 38mm long..
By the way, have you tried Fastenal??
