The All New Illustrated Guide to Everything Sold in Hardware Stores
An updated edition of the ultimate hardware shopping guide and reference book: “Organized, accessible and cheerfully reassuring.” —Publishers Weekly
Tired of making multiple trips to the hardware store because you purchased the wrong item? Or wandering the aisles feeling overwhelmed and bewildered? This is the illustrated reference that helps you learn the difference between drywall screws and deck screws; between faucet washers and neoprene O-rings; and between red wire nuts and blue wire nuts. And that’s before we even get to understanding nail gauges and drill bit sizes. The next time you talk to a hardware store clerk, rather than asking for “screws about two inches long,” you’ll be able to ask for #3 gauge 2-1/4-inch-long panhead screws with SAE 5/16’ flat washers!
The All New Illustrated Guide to Everything Sold in Hardware Stores is filled with color photos that let you see in life-size scale what different screws and nails and washers and bolts are called, accompanied by brief descriptions of their recommended uses—so you’ll be able to ask for them with accuracy and use them with precision.
