Good source for 1-1/2" Wafer Screws for subfloor?

What / who is a good source for the 1-1/2" wafer screws for the sub-floor? I'd prefer self tapping.
Thanks

Hi Re-Pete, I am using Flat Socket Floorboard Screws Type "F". The size is 1/4-20 X 2, Torx, manufactured by FitsFast.

These are self-taping screw.

They perform very well.

Good Luck 73'

Hello Chris, Thanks for this information. No doubt it will come in useful. I still have not settles on the screws so I've bookmarked this information for quick reference. After fighting it for a month, we're preparing for a shell off. It really just makes sense.

Visit a Home Depot and check the various construction screws available on the shelf. Other wise, here is a source for everything; https://www.boltdepot.com/Default.aspx

Thanks, I actually just found BoltDepot.com this past week. I really like what I see. I'm leery on the quality of fasteners at HD and big box stores. It's not too say everything they sell is junk because that isn't true. It's just that it's hard to know the quality of what I'm buying there. I bought some Wafer Head screws at HD before posting this thread. Then, I noticed there were a few reviews of these screws and they all rated them as junk basically. I took them right back and posted this thread.

On the other hand, as I'm sure you know, the BoltDepot.com shows the grades and composites of the fasteners they sell. Thanks for taking an interest in this thread.
Regards,
