Overseas sites are great because they’re easy to navigate, have abundant inventory, and flexible shipping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, some won’t ship internationally, and there are plenty of suspicious sites out there.
I’ve encountered quite a few, so I’m picking out the trustworthy ones. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I initially found JEGS while searching for DZUS fasteners.
There are larger retailers with even more fastener options, but they don’t ship to Japan, so this is the site I discovered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly what I wanted\u2014a tool that lets you easily and reliably adjust the spring tension on fasteners.
Once you see it, you think, “Oh, that’s it,” but it’s actually quite ingenious.
In Japan, where you can’t choose the shank length, maybe everyone’s working pretty hard to make these fasteners work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t purchased these yet, but they’re quite stylish fasteners.
Slotted is nice, but with a hex head you’d have total freedom\u2014it’s really tempting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, aluminum fasteners with black anodizing also exist.
How about it for those who want to go lighter? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinokuni has an intimidating selection\u2014it takes a lot of time to cover everything. The world is vast. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
