The Nuts and Bolts Behind Lightning Bolt, Inc.

We were founded in a Colorado Springs garage in 2002.  Our founder stocked fifty common fasteners and set out to prove to local businesses that he could offer better service and better pricing than the leading, big corporate supplier in town. And he did just that! Now Lightning Bolt sells to many of our local neighbors in Colorado Springs, Denver, and Pueblo. Plus, we ship all over the United States.

We are not a large corporate wholesaler.

We have 16 employees among our branches located in Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, CO.  Whether you come into one of our stores, or place your order via phone or email; after a time or two, you will begin to know your salesperson. This is because our employees never leave!

It isn’t just nuts and bolts at Lightning Bolt.

We competitively distribute other products: cutting tools, abrasives, hand tools, safety products, electronic hardware, etc… Please see our product pages for a full listing. Call us at one of the numbers below or use the contact form to send an email if you don’t see what you are seeking or have questions.

We excel with the strange and unusual products.

We love selling standard items, but we really get fired up by the challenging parts. If the product exists, we will find it. If it doesn’t exist, we will engineer it and have it manufactured.
