Not a bad offer Richard.
I have been having fun this morning. With my computer working its little CPU hard I worked on a part of the camera mount. One mount piece is a little bugged up on the thread. Simple thread chaser and it should be fine. Run down the street to Fastenal and ask for a 1/4 x 28 thread chaser or tap. We walk to a wall of drawers with every size of tap and thread chaser one might need. Open the drawer for the one I need, just dust. They have 10 of every other size. I asked if meth dealers or tweakers use them in drug deals or what? Not one in the store? So off to NAPA a few hundred feet done the road. He had to get the analog catalog out and he found a tap. That will work for me. He orders if "from upstairs" and says it will be down in 5 minutes or so. They are the local NAPA warehouse. 10 minutes go by, no tap. He looks around and finally just orders a second one. 5 minutes later two of them come down. I just get one for under two bucks. 15 seconds of use and the new bolt goes in like new. Ta Da.
How is it that every-time I go to a store like Home Despot or Low-down, they have every other size of what I need but none of the size I need?
