Where can I buy a miniature screw?

I'm looking for a miniature screw with similar dimensions as the picture above. Anyone know where I can get it? I already went to Radio Shack and Lowe's and they said that they do not carry them.

I've also search on Google and have tried the top links from the search results.

Thanks!

Wow that's small. Try an eyeglass store maybe?

Hobby store that carries Radio Control stuff or train stuff should have it.

Ahh.. There is a hobby store on the way home. I might stop by and ask them. The screw is actually for my car remote. I messed up the head of the other one while unscrewing it.

A hardware store might have it in their metric specialty screw cases. My local ACE carries screws that small, and it's not even a big store. Might be worth a look.

I think the nearest ACE store here is about 30 minutes away. I can check it on the weekend. Thanks!

In that case, your Radio Shack sucks. My Radio Shack has that screw driver size. Look online.

I'm sure http://www.mcmaster.com/ would have that size. However they sell in bulk.

I would also check ACE. I remember picking up some odd size metric hex head screws a while back. They were the only place in town who stocked them.

Did you try calling the manufacturer of your car remote? They might send you one for free.

That's where I would check first.

Walgreens maybe? If you're looking for those eyeglass screws.

I checked the local HobbyTown USA, but they didn't have any. However, I found this online store that sells a lot of micro-screws: http://www.microfasteners.com/

They also have a very friendly sales staff.

ACE Hardware. They usually have almost every size of screw.
