Where`s the good stuff? I mean mostly tools, hardware, and routine
houshold things.
I bought a hose nozzle at W.M. for $4.00 and it only lasted about 1
month. I didn`t expect it to be a real good one but with 4 hoses that
would be 24 nozzles for one season. I went to tractor supply and got a
better nozzle for $ 8.00 but it only lasted 1 year. Once I bought a
real cheap black and decker drill--less than $10.00-- and thought it
would be nice to have an extra set of brushes. They don`t even make
extra brushes for this item. I would like to find
someplace that sells well made products with metal parts instead of
cheap plastic, screws holding it together instead of weak plastic
clips--I mean whoever heard of plastic gears in a chain saw. I know I
would have to pay more but it would be worth it.

There are still a few places that sell quality fittings. For a hose nozzle
try Lee Valley
www.leevalley.com
For a hose reel try www.rapidreel.com

Sears still sells some fairly good quality stuff. "Building Supply"
stores generally stock good grades of plumbing.
Lowes and Home Depot are hit-n-miss with both personel and products.
Never buy the cheapest grade offered....

My Ace Hardware has a small cabinet full of brushes in the tool
department with about 100 different styles. I have had pretty good
luck matching them up.
BTW you may have to ask around, 2 employees said they didn't have any
brushes before a guy said yes they did.

Ace and Sears have lifetime warrantys, at least you can exchange
items. Craftsman hand tools are good.
