Has anyone used any M2 or M2.5 Hex Skt Cap Screws from this supplier:

http://www.toolfastdirect.co.uk/acatalog/metric_Socket_Capscrews_Self_Colour.html

Are they reasonably good quality?

I need some self colour, not SS. I have some M2.5 A2 and the hex sockets are poor. ( Politely rather than truthfully ). I also have a few genuine Unbrako which fit well, so it's not the hex keys.

So, if not the quoted outfit, any others?? Box size of <= 200 is OK.

I suppose I could risk a few squid on a small order and find out for myself, but I'm not feeling very adventurous.

I've used these guys a couple of times.

But just google micro screws UK and you'll get other hits as well.

Unbrako used to be the best.

Update: Sorry, just realised pts only do stainless!
 
I use Model Fixings quite a bit, never had problems with the, infact had some M2 and M2.5 delivered onlt yesterday for teh Firefly I'm building.
