Lowe's and Menard's do pretty well on that sort of thing too. I am
amazed at what there is in those cabinets.
I need to find some small screws for the gauges on the oxy acet (how
does one spell that other gas?) setup. There are two little brass screws
holding the housing to the stem on each and a couple of them are missing.
My son and I just picked up a small set from his girl's uncle. Best part
is we own the tanks. Don't use them enough to justify renting tanks so
it was nice to get a set that won't matter in that regard. Tanks are
something like 30 to 36 inches tall so not the wee ones but not the full
sized ones either.

Ditto on local Ace hardware. Prices are a little higher, but there actually is
service!

That's why I like my local Ace Hardware. It's all of maybe five minutes
away (I have big box stores like Loews and HD maybe 15 minutes away in
two directions) and they have nearly everything I need unless it's
really unique.
Plus they have free popcorn. The wife gets a bag of popcorn every time
I go there. I told one of the old duffers that works there the only
reason I get to go there was because I brought home popcorn....

Sears, like so many companies, decided that everything was all about
price. As long as the prices were low, they theorized, people would
buy. Well of course if your prices are super low you can't afford good
help so they got rid of anybody who knew anything and kept the mouth
breathers who would work for no wages. As soon as anybody got any kind
of smart they left for greener pastures.
Today we're finding that most companies have done the same thing and
we're left with a retail world which has raced to the bottom. Sears is
done, JC Penny is done. Lowes and Home Depot hang on for reasons I
don't understand. I come out of those places angry every time. The only
reason I go is because often I don't know what I'm talking about and
its easy to browse.
The local places that survive are the ones that focus on customer
service. We've got an excellent lumberyard/hardware store near our
farm. When you order lumber the salesperson goes to the yard with you
and picks out your materials. Its that extra service that makes me want
to go there. If I don't know exactly what I want the salesperson goes
out with me and shows me the options. Its a great place and they're
doing great business because of it.
