    LOL at the 15minutes, I hate the places, 30 seconds there and I'm ready to scream.

    I'm the guy that loves the days of the mom & pop corner hardware... They knew what they had, and you would have it before you in under a minute if they had it. Then you spent an hour shootin' the shit.

    That was service!!!

    The Home Depot and Lowes are basically a pain in the butt, and the people working there are only there for a pay check and take no pride on knowing what it is they sell.

    The thing with THD and Lowes is that you have to realize that you are shopping at a discount wholesale hardware warehouse.

    Wholesale price means wholesale service. You just need to know that going into it. It's like going to Sam's Club, just for hardware instead of consumables. I've met a lot of guys that work at both establishments, and while Lowes attempts to be more customer service oriented, they are really after one thing - annoying your money out of your wallet. As soon as they find out your not there for an install, appliance, or as a contractor they drop interest. THD is the same way to a point, but mostly because how they are in a constant flux of "Adjusted hours," which means if it was slow on Tuesday and Thursday, you aren't going to find an associate there on Sunday because they've been told to go home. It's usually not the associates or store manager's fault, but the former CEO's, Bob Nardelli (spelling?). You know, the guy that didn't get paid from Chysler last year because he just continued to flush the business down the toilet. He screwed up THD long before that, back in 2000'ish I think.

    Hi guys... Keep in mind there are two types of heatshirnk. Wire heatshirnk and battery heatshirnk. Wire has hot glue on it and is thicker. Battery is much thinner and cheaper and shrinks better. I'd recommend battery heatshrink, so if you need to take your cell apart, you not have tons of sticky glue crap all over the place...

    The battery heatshrink is kind of thin though, and you might want to layer it up...

    I use to live in Taiwan, and knew stores that sold 3 and 4" heatshrink by the foot for about 30 cents!!! Maybe I'll try to import some...
