Why are these little blighters so elusive? Neither Screwfix, B&Q or local hardware store stock them. What could be used in their place to attach concealed hinge to base unit?

Why is it so hard for Screwfix to list what staples fit it's Staple guns?

Honestly.

I'm here stapling breathable membrane onto bits of two lovely treehouses we're building and my stapler decided to spontaneously disassemble.

No worries! I'll pop down to screwfix and get a new one. I've got about 10k of these 14mm Type 53 staples, so all I have to do is find a stapler that fires them and I'll be off and away. Easy.

Cue 40 minutes on the screwfix website, with absolutely no indication on any - Any - of their staplers as to what staples they accept. None.

Oh, I got smart, headed into the Q&A sections on a few. Guess what? I'm not alone... The world needs to know this. Every single stapler had the question "what staples does this accept" and really helpful answers, a sample of which I'll now lay out for your amusement and judgement.

"it'll take 8, 10 or 14mm staples" (but not what width) "it'll accept standard staples" (there are, like, 14 standards?) "."

That's right, you smashing, adonis-bodied reader, the answer to the question of what staples is simply a full stop.

I mean, now I know?

So, I've now gone and bought a stapler called an AT-50, in the hope that it'll take T50 staples. which I have also had to buy

It's a travesty. We need a chosen one to bring order to the force.

Edit: this rant needed more staple puns, but I just couldn't pin any down.

Being coaxed by a DFS wordsmith into buying easy glide fittings for my sofa for ยฃ40 and later finding the same flimsy bit of plastic available in Screwfix for ยฃ6 (8 pack).

Watching them install them on the sofa feet was quite demoralising but hats off to the salesman for a robbery well done.

Shops like Screwfix but in Antrim town

I've moved recently and still finding my way around here.

Is there any shop in Antrim or around like screwfix? A DIY shop where I can buy stuff like switches, cables, sockets, radiator valves, etc...

Today I need to buy 47mm metal back boxes and I don't feel like driving all the way to newtownabbey screwfix again.

Edit: Thanks all, Islandbawn Stores got me sorted. Antrim builders looked decent too until I noticed the prices...

Poor (Absolute Sh1te) quality screws from Screwfix.

Has anyone else noticed how Screwfix have been letting their standard of quality drop lately? I've been using 4.5 x 75mm Timbadeck screws for framing and the current batch are absolute rubbish, bending,snapping and heads rounding off even in the softest of woods.

Anyone know where (UK) I can get a cistern isolation valve with a handle? Possibly 1/2" BSP to 15mm compression, about 70mm. Closest found (Screwfix) is a valve that requires a flat head screwdriver to turn which is impractical for regular use. If not, any flexi hoses to the same spec? Thanks

Argos chair came with some missing screws (about 8 of different sizes), with no spares available. What's the best way to get them? Screwfix, a local hardware shop, a site online?

Manual + fittings they gave me: https://i.imgur.com/Uqjuqqd.jpg

Looks like it's missing:

2 x 15mm Screw

2 x 10mm Screw

4 x 82mm Screw

Is this info enough to take to a shop and have them find the parts I need, or do I need to find out the thickness too?

Cheers
