The quality of the hardware is good, the case fine (for plastic) - the main drawback is that you will find yourself with more cotter pins and special purpose washers than the average person uses in a lifetime. Still, the useful pieces are well worth the price, especially as compared to buying bubble-packs at the local home center store. I had some complaints about delivery time. As I recall, it took them > 2 months to get the shop to me (was about ready to start firing off some nasty letters when it finally arrived). Overall, I'd say go ahead and buy it. If nothing else, you'll have a beginner's supply of hardware and the start of a home hardware filing system. -- Jim ..!houxm!hou2b!sims
