Small parts suppliers

[Dee J]

Hi
Looking for some small self tapping screws for a project. 2mm by 6mm (max) wafer or round head. Quantity less than 50.
I know I could easily find them on Amazon, but I'd rather find a supplier not directly connected to billionaires. I know my £5 order makes little difference, but maybe I'm just awkward.

Screwfix, B and Q, EBay, local hardware store

You 'could' find them on Amazon or you 'have' found them on Amazon?

In particular, self-tapping and 2mm do not sit easily together.

If the latter, please supply link so we know what we seek when we suggest alternatives.

Here's an Amazon listing. Most regular suppliers B&q, Screwfix etc don't have much shorter than 10mm.

Custom Fasteners ?

Kays fasteners they sell direct and have an Ebay store worth comparing the prices with postage added.

Try ebay

You can judge the size of rhe seller by how many other items they have listed.
You could even scroll through their Sold listings and see if they are millionaires or not

Here's an Amazon listing.

Just in case you did not see, those ones are stainless steel.

Stainless steel self tapping screws are sometimes not very self-tapping (they are not hard enough).

Describing a self-tapping screw as 'M2' is not the best. In your search, look at bigger sizes to see what the more conventional description is.

This is close in BZP (and gives the DIN standard to help searching elsewhere) but see lead time:

Pozi Pan Self Tapping Screw (AB) No.2 x 6.5mm in Zinc Plated Steel - DIN 7981 - Westfield Fasteners Ltd

Pozi Pan Self Tapping Screw (AB) No.2 x 6.5mm in Zinc Plated Steel - DIN 7981. Designed to form its own thread when screwed into a pre-drilled hole. Next day Delivery.

Edit:

Searching for the imperial description - '#2 x 1/4 self tapping' is the key phrase finds a lot more leads:

Pozi Pan Self Tappers Type A/B BZP - 2.2 x 6.5mm (No 2 x 1/4" imperial equivalent) - Forest of Dean Fasteners
