Philips #0 Bits

**CLR Solutions** · 10-08-2011, 03:26 PM

Anyone know where to get #0 Philips bits? No one locally that I can find sells them individually or even in the sets with other bits. I just want to buy a large quantity of them and be done with the search.

No Menards around here. Home Depot doesnt have any and Harbor Freight did seem to have any the last 2 times I made the 40 mile drive. I may check Fastenal on Monday.

Don't you guys have any independent industrial or hardware type stores left over there??

All I hear is Lowes, H.Depot, Harbour Freight, etc, etc, etc

You want choice and quality here in Australia, you STAY AWAY from the BIG Stores..

Unless you live in a small town most mom and pop hardware stores are no longer in business. Ithink as smalltime as you can get here in denver area is an ACE hardware. I like toolking too but its like a harbor freight.

Great point! All the independents have pretty much folded under the pressures of the big box stores.
It is sad to say the least. One hardware store just closed it's doors near by after being in business for over 60 years. They just could no longer compete.

It's probably different everywhere you go, but mom and pop shops around here always had inferior quality tools at high prices. It always made sence to go to a big box store for more variety and a better price.

When I put my tool set together I chose all Craftsman stuff to start with. 15 years later and I've only had to use the replacement warranty on a few socket wrenches.

We do have one local hardware store left nearby. They family has owned it a very long time.

They carry Craftsman tools and if you can't find a part anywhere else they most times have it. Problem is there prices. It's not there fault but it hurts them!
People will try elsewhere first but if the parts can't be found they will have it.
