I don't see stuff like that at my local hardware store. Professionals =

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.


I don't work there. Talk to the people that do.

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?


So you expect to find nails on the same aisle as the 2x4s? When you go to the
grocery, you expect to find baking pans right next to the flour, or milk with
the cereal? Do they keep charcoal in the meat case?- Hide quoted text -

My Borg sells 2 x 4's with the nails already pounded in. That sure
saves a lot of work.

I just screw them up where I need them and never have to swing a
hammer. Sweet!
