Since you're a buying and selling type of guy, get yourself a piece counting scale and see if he's ripping you off or not. With these scales, you zero the scale with your empty bucket on, weigh one piece to calibrate it for one item, then fill up the bucket and the scale will tell you how many pieces are inside.

 

I have no idea, you tell me. Put a pound of screws on a scale (use the wife's cooking scale), count them, then multiply by 25 (1/2 lb. x 50), that will be the amount + or - a few, post your results. If you want exact numbers count each of them in the 25 lbs, have fun.

sounds like you might be 500 shy.

20 screws/lb shy.

 

How many Screws in a Bucket

I just looked in my bucket.

6

 

screws are sold by the lb of steel the count dosent seem to matter. I would like less screws in the bucket per 25lb because it would make the screws stronger, more steel.
