Howard's Hardware mecca for small stuff!

[Beemer_Princess]

I just thought I'd pass this on. In Duluth on Buford Hwy there are 2 Howard's Hardware there. The one farther south is your regular hardware store. But the one north of Pleasant Hill Rd is a mecca for screws, spacers, metric, torx, nylock bolts and on and on. They have a huge room in the back with stainless, chrome, and any type of small piece you might need. I took Cycle Rob there once and I think he was in heaven. :)
I have gotten my stuff there for around 15 years and it is the best well stocked place around. Even if you live in Marietta, I think it's worth the trip. Check it out. It's good to help our locals...

There is another place - Threads for the South (http://tftsonline.com/) that carries a ton of fastners of all types. I have never gone there and come away without finding what I'm looking for.

It's behind the Coke plant on Highway 41 in Marietta.

Along similar lines, does anybody know of a good engineering-surplus shop in the metro area? When I lived in Dallas TX there was one where you could find anything from extreme sizes of heat-shrink tubing to used micrometers and other precision measuring tools to bits of various metals and plastics and all sorts of other stuff, sometimes tools or machines that defied identification by the layman. Great place to rummage through even if they didn't actually have anything you needed.

Anyplace like that around here?

Northern tools or Harbor Freight Tools both have heat shrinks...so does Howards but a little pricey but they do have metals and plastics too.

Speaking of cranky old farts, Danny might already have already submitted an application. :emoticon-0136-giggl Genereal Hardware (http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7SUNA_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=general+hardware+atlanta&fb=1&gl=us&hq=general+hardware&hnear=atlanta&cid=9537945655162845893)next to Olgelthorp Univ on Peachtree Industrial just past Brookhaven on the left.
