Lightning Bolt was founded with the idea that a smaller wholesale company offers a more rewarding purchasing experience. Generally in the retail market the bigger companies sell their products cheaper. In wholesale, this is not always true. Not only is Lightning Bolt extremely competitive, we offer more knowledge and a higher level of service than the big guys. We also believe customers want consistency from their supplier: same salesperson, competitive price, impeccable service and high quality products.

Lightning Bolt is not a large corporate wholesaler. We are a small fastener distributor that delivers big results. We are located in Colorado Springs and service a wide variety of markets: manufacturing, construction, fabrication and facilities maintenance. Within these markets, we strive to be competitive and the first to deliver.

It isn't just nuts and bolts at Lightning Bolt either. We competitively distribute other products: cutting tools, abrasives and electronic hardware, etc. Please see our line card for the full line of products.

Even though we love selling the standard items, we excel with the strange and unusual products. If the product exists, we will find it. If is doesn't exist, we will engineer it and have it manufactured. So, if your usual suppliers are giving you the usual answers, give us a call and let us show you the difference.

We stock what our customers use. We talk with our customers, find out what products they use and how often. Then we provide a competitive quotation. With their approval, we stock the products at our facility and ship the order as required. We will drop-ship various orders from our vendors, directly to the customer, saving them time and freight costs. In the Colorado Springs area, we provide hardware bin stock programs for maintenance and manufacturing customers, scheduled to fit their needs.
