There is also UNIFIX direct too http://www.unifixdirect.co.uk/ . UNifix are
v good for fixings and they stock much the same range as S'fix. Their
catalogue is similar in size and feel to Sfix. Why all this obsession with
one mail order company. Many companies do much the same thing.


And some charge the same -- or less -- for the same items. For example,
the 6mm long twist drills from Tilgear are the same price as those from
Screwfux and they don't charge any extra for P&P. Nor, IIRC, do they
have a minimum order charge.


I obviously did *not* remember correctly; not only was the £1.29 price
for a 6mm long series twist drill shared by Screwfux and *Axminster*,
but also Tilgear (who charge £1.50 for that same item) charge £3.95 P&P
on orders under £50. That said, they're appreciably less expensive than
Axminster for some items, such as the Vertex ER25 collet chuck set.
