Rubber Grommets

I need one 1/4" OD, ID negotiable to whatever diameter of aluminum shaft I can find.  But online, grommets seem to come in packs of 100.  Any suggestions where I might find just one locally?

  1. Well Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, D&B all have drawer bins with grommets.

  2. If you have a Menard's near you, I've found they have one or two packs of things like taps, while elsewhere they're bulk buys. Here's the web link for their rubber grommet listing:

  3. A really good hardware store MIGHT sell you a one-off.

    Equally, a car-parts store might be able to find one of an appropriate OD.

  4. Menards carries a large assortment. SOmetimes Home Depot as well.

    Also ACE or, if you have one, an independant Auto parts store.

  5. Most all good hardware stores will have a rack of drawers with specialty hardware in small bags. Size of item tends to be the determiner of quantity contained. Typically less than $2/bag, until you get to stuff like bearings. Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, etc.

  6. Will an O-ring work? Ace hardware stocks all sorts of sizes.

  7. Lowes or Home Depot

    Too bad there are no more Radio Shacks...they used to have them, at least in small bags
