Anyone have experience with WejIt wedge bolts?

Anyone have any experience with Wej-It's Ankr-TITE Wedge Anchors. They seem like typical wedge anchor bolts, available in SS. I've had good experience with Redhead Trubolt, but those aren't available from my local fastener store anymore.

KB3s would work. Can you recommend an online source?

A box of 50 Kilti KB3s cost $301.76. That's $6 per bolt. That's too much. I was getting Redhead bolts for around $1 per bolt.

Any other ideas?

SS Powers for about $1.99 a bolt:

Sometimes they are selling KB3's and sometimes Powers, but the price is always around 2 bucks a bolt for good wedge anchors. Even if you had to pay a bit more, please don't place inferior hardware store grade anchors.

Locker -- that was a quote provided to me by Hilti. (The price isn't listed on their web site.)

I'll look into Powers and some other options. Thanks everyone.

Locker this seems a bit atypical... why would you tell him to raise the price on everyone?

Did this guy give any indication of how he came about getting a huge load of bolts without having any idea of the value? Nice guy? Maybe, but something seems fishy.

I bought five at first (I think), then contacted the seller and spoke directly to him. At that time I ordered five more boxes (At the $11.00 price) and we spoke more. He asked what I was going to use them for, etc... At that time, I let him know that his deal was great and suggested he might consider upping his price a bit, but to keep it reasonable as to not chase buyers away. He upped it to around $22.00 per box at that time. Still a fantastic price. Why did I suggest it? Because he didn't know the value of the bolts and I honestly did not want the dude (even though a total stranger to me) to totally rip himself off. Just didn't feel right. He could have charged a good bit more. But he was/is a good dude and still kept them cheap.
U da man Locker...

Hilti charges out the ass for all hardware to the average Joe blow. If you are a contractor and set up a credit line with them, and depending on the quantity of goods you purchase monthly/annually, you could get the KB3s for a quarter the price they quoted you. Make buddies with a drywall company foreman and you'll be good to go.

Oh, also the $300 KB3s must be the 316 SS. Last I checked the 304 SS was $200 a box. I checked about a month ago.
