Seems to be substantially cheaper than SF on a lot of stuff.... a lot of Silverline though. :roll:
Even the sandpaper is silverline :lol:

Just like SF though, limited stocks at the shops.

They've got a Scrumpy machine in my local Toolstation :lol: :thumbright:
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I don't go to the Exeter Toolstation that much, but when I do, even though I think it is a pretty large one, there is usually something on the list that is out of stock, which is a little frustrating.
not sure how common that is?

apart from that minor inconvience (and usually have something else to substitute for it), I have found them very handy :thumbright:

I use the one in Warrington. Practically next door to screwfix and cheaper too. Haven't had any problems so far with them being out of stock.

I like the fact that you can place an order online and the check stock in local store before you go, it would be unlucky if what you wanted was in great demand before you got there. Also if it is out of stock they order in for ypu, at least my local store does.
