Anchor Prices
in Fasteners
Varies by size and material — 24× range
$0.28 – $6.61 per ea
Too broad to summarise with one figure. We don't yet have enough purchases of any single product here to price them individually.
Based on 35 purchases from 15 vendors, trailing 12 months.
Why there's no product-level breakdown
We track 45 anchor products, and the figure above covers all of them together. None has enough purchases on its own yet to price separately — 35 purchases spread across 45 products, split again by supplier and by company, leaves each one short of the threshold.
As more invoices come through, the ones that get bought most will cross it and appear here with their own ranges.
Why anchor prices vary so much
“Anchor” covers a range of products rather than one item, and size and material move the price far more than which supplier you use. That is why a single average across all of them isn't useful for deciding whether you paid a fair price.
How we know this
These figures come from real invoices processed through CostCrunch, not list prices or survey data. Each line is normalised to a price per unit, the top and bottom 1% are excluded as outliers, and a figure is only published once there are at least 10 purchases of that item in the last 12 months. Where a figure rests on a single supplier or a single company we say so, because that is one buyer's experience rather than a market rate.
Check your own invoices against these prices — CostCrunch reads every line item and flags anything above market.
