Why? To look at inane videos posted by a tech ignorant paper pusher?

I can find 4-48 screws, but so far only in quantity, and most companies have a minimum order which is probably greater than you want to spend.  Still looking and hope to find you something, maybe by tomorrow.  In the meantime, here's a chart showing you how many head sizes are available:

Here's the, uhum, tech ignorant paper pusher with the inane vids (Wot? Leonard Bernstein & Andy Shernoff = inane?) clamoring for this US hi-tech product whose production costs I must have thoroughly underestimated. I'll buy a set, what's your paypal address, the one listed in the picture?

OK, price has been reduced by 1/2 to reflect lower wholesale prices.  Stainless Steel.  .75 inch long, same thread length as the originals.  Uwe, you sent me enough $$ for 2 sets at this price.

If anyone wants the 1" ones (blued steel) they are the same price, $10 a set USA, $12 EU.

The McMaster-Carr link above is the best alternative I found, but someone else has already posted it.  The JAEBird/Cataldo source is also not bank-breaking.

There's also an eBay seller who has 4-48 socket head cap screws, 3/4" length, in a 25-pack for $8.50 with free shipping:

I'm going to try and set up a paypall account tonight, and then I'd like one set.

I'm fine with one set, send me a couple of Lifesavers Wild Cherry rolls, I'm addicted to those!

I'll see what I can do.   At the least I'll refund your excess Paypal.
