A handy pile of nuts etc.

Post by Mattylad »

FYI - Wilkinsons do a mix & match bag (small=1.99 & large = 2.99) and you can mix washers of all sizes, wing nuts, nuts, bolts etc.

I just filled my boots (well a small bag) for 1.99 - got a heck of a lot in that bag.

M6 & M8 wing nuts, I don't think I coulod have got so many for 1.99 had I bought them elsewhere.

A really handy collection for antenna fittings.

Sounds handy. The ones I'm always short of are M3 nuts and bolts when I'm building summat. Oh and solder tags!

I do like a well stocked collection, so there is always a nut, bolt screw or whatever for every occasion. :)
