I knew B&Q were more expensive than most places but I didn't quite realise how much until this morning.
Yesterday I bought various nuts, lock nuts and wing nuts for making a jig for my lathe. When I remembered that Screwfix had opened a branch about 5 minutes drive from B&Q I returned what I had bought and went there instead...
_Item_ _B&Q_ _Screwfix_
M10 wing-nut £1.30 for 4 £1.70 for 10
M10 nylon lock nut £1.30 for 2 35p for 10
M12 nut £1.30each 37p each(in a bag of 100)
M12 nylon lock nut £1.30each 5p each(in a bag of 10)
So for spending something like £12 less at Screwfix I ended up with enough for this project and at least one or two others.
