Am in US next week and I always call into Rocker in Torrance, CA

Can you get the screws here?
Will be doing the heavier end of the scale work.

I have bought the kreg pan head screws at handyhardware.ie when on sale and from amazon.co.uk.

There may be less expensive alternatives if you use large quantities.

Thanks, where in the UK should I look?
don't need the hassle with customs on way back for a few bucks.

ps: they are nice shops to visit

Thanks, looked at the K4 system, 5 euro dearer, in 166, with Caulfield
edit:
that is when they add 20% VAT for online sales, a walk-in will only be local sales tax

A specialist toolshop in Toulouse: 70 euro or so, its a lovely piece of workmanship from Japan.
will dig out the receipt if needed.
