If for some reason you are forced to brave the temptations of 'The Toolpost' then leave yourself a few minutes to explore the odd justification for putting up with the ordeal.
Having put off for some time the replacement of my original Axminster Cole Jaw Buttons, (rubbers are getting past their best and some £6 a pop! ) I came away with a set of One Way models dressed in cute little black numbers at a somewhat more reasonable outlay.
they will prove a useful addition to my home grown selection as they come with longer bolts that won't be wasted for my extra spacer options.
A general browse around the 'spares' selection of the various offerings inevitably turns up a few must-haves that can be found a home, and lets face it you would only have spent the money on postage if you hadn't called in.
Oh and if it should be somewhere around lunch time, the Plough Inn in Long Whittenham about 4 miles up the road won't see you leaving for home hungry.
Another associated tip, cut thread Stainless Steel socket screws (screwfix) as opposed to rolled thread versions often supplied with buttons, have cleaner starting threads that are less prone to getting cross threaded when moving about and certainly cheap enough to throw in the bin as soon as the sockets get out of kilter.
