ACE Hardware
 

So, there IS a REAL hardware store still in the area. The ACE on Virginia near the Vassar intersection have a significant stock of typical hardware items, along with a staff that a) know where everything is, and b) are always available to help.

They had plastic square-tubing ends from 5/8" to 1-1/4".

so you're making pipe bombs now, damn it Scotty where did we go wrong?

That Ace rules, it's right up the street from my work. Very knowledgeable staff. The one on Baring in Sparks has a good selection too, but I like the new store better.

Of only it were on my end of town. That's just far enough away that'll i'll only go there on a special trip. I miss the Ace that used to be next to Smiths.

But it sounds like I can finally stop cutting myself on the ends of my driving seat with some tube caps. :)

See, I got your back Scott.
