The average diyer might only use one or two sizes and in limited quantity but for 10 green queens it's not a bank breaker!
i actually have over 100 boxes /sizes
with gold ==turbo gold==twins==japblack==slotted brass ==domed brass and a few other specialist types :lol:

Agree totally!

When I read the OP I wanted to go and buy them straight off - but after 1 seconds pause realised I don't actually have a need for them right now! It's this kind of hoarding attitude that's got my workshop stuffed to the rafters with 'crap' (as the missus calls it) that 'has a purpose but I can't think what that purpose is right now'..... :roll:

It's £10 saved.... for the moment.

But you can almost guarantee that when I DO need them they'll be double the price!!! ::b
Don't take it personally......

yes i love a bargain
i used to use a fair amount off no6x1/2" screws screwfix used to do 500 boxes off about 12 popular sizes pay for 400 get 500 i bought a box off 500 was going through it well as you do :lol:
then they stopped doing them and sold them off about half price so buy 200 get 500 any way got 2 off every size to stock up
all sizes i am more than half way through the second box except 6x1/2 where i had about 1200-1300 screws and over the last perhaps 5 or 6 years i have used about 20 as the use off 12mm ply and brackets has stopped :huray: :lol:
the only good thing is the boxes are actually very small and the space in each was enough to cram in the extra 100 or so in each box with a few extra in the organizer boxes :lol:
