In short

The US source for the consumables: 2024-T3, 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 sheet with the finish and weight of every size, 4130 sheet and tube, AN470 and AN426 rivets sold by the pound, CherryMAX, AN bolts with their grip lengths, stop nuts and PS-890 sealant.

Its listings carry more data than any other source checked here: weight per square foot for sheet, count per pound for rivets, and the grip length of every AN bolt dash number. The pages here reproduce those tables, without prices.

It sells tools too, but this catalog lists US tooling from Yardstore; Spruce is here for materials and hardware. In Europe, LAS Aerospace is Spruce's distributor.

How this page was made

Every fact above links to the Aircraft Spruce page it came from, checked by hand on 30 September 2026. Size tables are transcribed from the listings with prices removed. Where a listing contradicts itself or carries an obvious error, the product page says so rather than repeating it.

Aircraft Spruce's listings have product photos; they are theirs or their manufacturers', and we do not reuse them without written permission. Strength figures and marketing claims that appear only in the seller's text are attributed to Spruce or left out.

The Aviation Point has no partnership or affiliate agreement with Aircraft Spruce. If that changes, this paragraph and the affiliate disclosure will say so.
