1. The best part of this video was that Andy Ginger is a redhead.
2. Oh, JESUS. Duck Tape got its name from the cotton duck cloth originally used for backing. Not because its "waterproof, like a duck." You'd think a couple of guys who wrote BOOKS on the stuff would know that much.
3. I could never understand how phillips head screws became the primary screw when a robertson head is far superior. A phillips is just as maddening as a flathead. Now I know. ;)
4. Me and my husband still remember the good ol' hardware stores that had the wooden floors, the tin feed bends with a scoop in it, the Toledo scales for weighing the feed and nuts n bolts. What we really miss are the store owners and the workers who were usually family and knew so much more than today's workers at stores like lowes who have very few people who know what they're doing aside from pointing to an isle and saying that's where something can be found.
5. I highly recommend, Meskee's in Weeping Water, Nebraska for that Hardware Experience.
6. This jerk at 30:15 is not doing small family owned hardware stores any favors. What a backhanded endorsement. ...Yeah. "Great if you need one screw and do what if it costs two cents more" Fuck him! I go to my local whenever possible. Support local family rum businesses!
7. Tehe..I keep Duct tape, Tampons and panty liners in EVERY first aide box I own. Cant beat the versatility of all three when in a "Oh shit" sHituation. :D
8. home repairs are easy, just grab the phone and or a beer
9. Absolutely. If you need advice, go to a mom n pop hardware store.
10. people use duck tape on cars they spend tons of money on a car they are that cheap to use that than replace the part that is damaged
11. i was wondering while watching... how did they make the guide screw in the first screw machining lathe? :)
12. Handyman Porn
13. love how americans think they are the center of the world, the place isnt that great, so get over yourselves
14. I always laugh when ppl talk about new ways vs old ways. This is a false dichotomy. There is only evolution. The internet let's u find what u want and how to compare brands and price ranges, then the store let's u look at and feel them, which is MORE information, which combines with the information u already have to help u decide which is the best compromise for u.
    Someone who orders online and just picks it up, or has it delivered either doesn't care, or they know exactly what they want. Either way, they are not the kind of ppl who have time to waste for the "Hardware store experience".
    In this scenario all the internet does is inform and save time, it does not replace the store
15. Additionally there is the canadian robertson superior to the us' philips.
16. Wow what year was this produced?
17. This is crap fasteners came out of (EGYPT) who civilization preceded GREECE lets tell it like it was the greeks were let in egypt and became civilized by being taught BUILDING - MEDICINE -MATH - PHILOSOPHY - among other things and even the greeks have stated this in their history, this thing that the greeks civilized the world is  FALSE.
18. Here in the UK I find that the big national hardware companies are ok for the mainstream type stuff but when it gets to the less common items they never carry them. Although I will admit that Screwfix, one of the biggest operators here, offer a click and deliver service for tradesmen which is a big time and money saver when working on a customer job.  If you need something the next day you can order online upto 10pm the day before and it will be there.
19. "As American as Apple Pie and Baseball" 
    
    when did the Hardware store become american lol, its a worldwide thing... americans... lol
20. I couldn't see the name on the 'new favourite power screwdriver with an extension.  Can you let me know - it looks a real backsaver
