I don't see stuff like that at my local hardware store. Professionals get
all the good stuff.

Same here. *Those just aren't available at the Big Boxen,


Yes, they are. You just haven't found them yet.

Come to the store with me and show me where I can actually purchase
them.


and in fact,
even metal old work boxes and Madison hangers are hard to find,


Oddly enough, I have no trouble finding them.

although they do have them (and they are usually on different shelves
from each other, what's up with that?)


Different products are in different places. What's hard to understand about
that?


It makes no sense?

Think about it, if one product is worthless without the other and vice
versa, wouldn't it make sense to stock them close to each other?
