Hi all, I'm trying to find the right screw to attach my speaker to a speaker stand. I have the details (see image) but at the nearby hardware store they are pretty useless. First they gave me one screw (M5 I believe) which is too small. Then another one (M6 I believe) which is slightly too big...

Hi. First post. When the time came to replace the blade in my Titan TTB598MSW I didn't expect any issues. I knew it was a reverse thread. Try as I might with a variety of Allen keys and socket sets it wouldn't budge. My only option was to drill it out. My issue now it to find a replacement. Does...

Hi all, I notice the other day there was a bolt loose under my pedals, and am concerned on where it came from and if it needs to be seen to or not. I've tried to take a picture of the view up towards to steering wheel and have notice what I think is where the bolt belongs on the steering...

I have attached pics (I hope) of our french doors that turn with a special key, seems to have fixed itself and dropped internally as the key no longer has any 'purchase' and we can't undo the lock, hence not being able to open our french doors?! I think this has just 'stuck' over time and over...
