Def you are awsome....I was walking around this place thinking I found a gold mine of grade 10 bolts.

Counterfit with OEM bolts too?

No, OEM bolts are pretty trust worthy if a little expensive.

Just to clarify, it's not that Ace has a nefarious plan to screw everyone over, but when you buy cheap bolts and mark them up 1000% you end up with "mismarked" bolts. It's actually a very widespread problem because there's big business of just stamping a bolt a higher grade than what it really is and selling it for almost double.
