Brass Brads
 

This is probably a Roderick question, but I'm hoping someone may else know as well:

I haven't had to order these in a long time and was wondering where the best place online is? Office Depot is no good b/c they one seem to sell only the brass-plated ones and I need solid brass.

Also, has anyone ever used the brass washers that "lock" the brads in place? Are they worth getting or should I not bother?

yes, get the washers. They keep that back page from tearing and they look great.

and only buy ACCO brand brads, they are twice as strong as the other brands.
