Great deals on bolts, hangers, and other hardware

Is climbtech dead? Just got an email they are being bought by some company Werner. Anyways, where do people get cheap hangers these days?

I heard that they would still be manufacturing hangers, but that they would be discontinuing their mussy hooks?

This post says the opposite:

Also not a "deal", but you can currently buy Mussys from Climb On in Squamish for ~MSRP (I've never seen them for sale anywhere else):

Oh, I must have had that mixed up! That is good news in my eyes. 

Does anyone have a source for 3/8” SS quicklinks? And maybe SS rings? It seems like the usual places are out of stock.

Climb Tech's founder Karl, is supposed to be starting his own company now that his contract with Werner/CT is ending.  Werner was interested in the industrial side of the business not the recreational gear.

Heh, same thing for me, Backcountry.com.  Looks like they sold out of the Mammut’s but have Camp’s in stock and on sale. Also a nice FS stainless steel quick link.

$8 Metolius hangers. Might be able to get more off with a coupon code too. YMMV.

That's not a deal.....

Agreed but then again, Metolius SS hangers have been extra pricey for some time. Oddness since in many cases this is 3 times what a comparable high quality SS hanger runs. Maybe 2 times with todays pricing;-)

Still…$8 for a hanger is mental.

I'm looking into a bulk order of 304 SS hangers from Fixe. Cheaper if one buys a bunch. PM me if you're interested.

PM me if you're interested in pooling resources. To preempt the inevitable comment, Fixe hangers do ding up carabiners, which might keep the aestheticians off of your project.

I still have a ton of hangers for sale if you don’t want to deal with Fixe.

PM incoming.

You can get the US Anchors / PRO-ferred (A Brighton Best International brand) 3/8 x 3  Ultrawedge in 304 stainless for about $1.50 each at Bolt & Nut Supply Co in SLC or Ogden, UT. Combined with Bonaire 304 hangers from James Garrett (also available at the Gear Room), you are at about $4.50 per bolt. Less if you use the pingo hangers.  (Personally i prefer tge bigger hole on the SimPles hangers over the pingo).

Heres the comparison sheet between the ultrawedge ans other common anchors. But the ECC certification data sheet is a bit more confusing than the specs on the side of a box of dewalts.

They have kind of a long strike cone on the end but it protects against munching up threads during installation.   They place well on lead.
