Tools & Hardware

How to choose: Tools & Hardware

Most tool purchases go wrong on fit, not quality: the wrong thread, size or voltage. Measure or read the existing part before you order.

• Match the fastener thread and length to the old one; metric and inch sizes look alike but do not swap.
• For power tools, check the voltage and whether the battery is included or sold apart.
• Buy sets only if you will use most pieces; a single correct size often costs less.
• Check the listed material (steel, stainless, zinc-plated) if the part will sit outdoors or in damp rooms.

Common questions

Can I return a tool that does not fit?

Returns information will be posted before the store opens for orders.

Are batteries included?

Only when the product title says so; otherwise assume they are sold separately.
