I’ve got a pile of 3/8” hangers I’d part with. It’s a mix of older Fixe and Metolius with a few Kong-Bonaiti, all 304 stainless. Should be 64 in all.

How much are you thinking?

I have 5 tubes of AC100+ gold to part with if anyone is interested. $60?

*SOLD

Anyone have good deals on steel fixed pin carabiners? Looking to buy roughly 50 or so, depending on price.

Anyone have any 1/2x4-6" SS Powers they're willing to offload? I'd be buying ~100.

Thank you for any help. 

Hey Charles! I sent you a message, pretty sure I can help you out.

PM me if you're interested in selling all the hangers without the bolts.  I'll buy all of them.

PM’d Little Man.

I’ll update my post tomorrow morning if they sell. Still open to offers from others just in case this deal doesn’t happen

Original post updated 

Hey!  I will take 50 bolts and hangers if they’re still available.  I’ll shoot a message to your inbox.  Thanks 

I have a solid stack of hardware for sale if anyone is interested. I’ll update this as things sell or I find more junk do get rid of.

• Three boxes of 20 Hilti KB-TZ anchors. Bolts are 1/2 x 5-1/2” SS316. $90 per box or $250 for all 3.
• SS316 hangers!!! In bags of 50. These were special ordered last year for a project that fell through. 3/8”(10mm) and 1/2”(13mm) holes available. 9 bags left, so don’t be shy! $150 per bag of 50.

• I also 2 bags of 50 “used” hangers, mostly older style Metolius and Fixe. I call them used because most of the hangers came from a decommissioned climbing wall. They he hangers are still in good shape with little sign of use. $100 per bag.

Are the used hangers Plated or SS, and what size hole?

All stainless 10mm holes fixed it up.

Maybe not great, but better than I've seen in a while:

Hilti 1/2 x 5.5" 304 SS for under $4 each if you buy a bunch. Ebay # 173047443623. If you want 316, then see C Williams above.

I still have 316SS hangers that I'd trade for 304 if that would help someone. See my post a couple of pages back.

Updated, the second hand hangers are all spoken for. Lots of new hangers left though!

Updated quantities and dropped the price

Anybody know of any good deals on stainless 5 piece bolts in 3/8" and at least 2" long? I'm looking to bolt some softish desert sandstone where my wedge bolts wouldn't be appropriate and I'm not looking to pay like 5 bucks per bolt. I'd also be interested in sleeve bolts that aren't the 5 piece bolts if they are adequately strong and still have a large surface area for the sleeve.

3/8" in desert sandstone, you are going to want the 3.5" bolts.  The 2.25" arent even long enough for southern sandstone, which is much stronger rock.  FYI, wedge bolts seem to work better for me in our softer rock.

I'd beg to differ. 2" 5 piece bolts ought to be plenty strong in most southern sandstone (Cumberland Plateau sandstone) and in the stronger varieties such as gizzard sandstone at T wall a short wedge bolt is even plenty strong. And wedge bolts absolutely should not be used in soft sandstone as the wedge will wear away at the rock over time and eventually carve a hole in the area around the collar. Then you basically have a nail because the expansion mechanism is no longer adequate. 

I'm not opposed to 3" or longer bolts, but to make such a broad statement about "desert" sandstone is misleading. There are many different types of sandstone in the desert and their strengths vary widely. Unless you which layer of sandstone is in question, it's hard to make accurate statements about what kind of bolt is needed. In some layers, 3/8" 2.25" 5 pieces are fine, in some layers you want 1/2" and longer, and in some layers only glue-ins are adequate. 

Our 'soft rock' is still stronger than all of the desert sandstone I have climbed on.  I understand there are different types of desert sandstone, but since you specified it I assumed you didnt mean the bomber stuff.  Getting the 3/8" five-piece to set in soft rock is difficult, but the 1/2" wedge bolts have always worked fine for me. You're probably right if you are talking about 2", 3/8" wedge bolts in soft rock, but not 4", 1/2" wedge bolts.  they work great.

we use 3/8 x 2.75" wedge anchors in the cumberland plateau. minimum embedment depth is usually like 1.5" on these wedges, and rarely do we get below 2" embedment in a placement. In that case, we'd use a longer bolt or a glue in.
