Introduction: Why This Book Whether you are a homeowner, an apartment dweller, or renovator, you no doubt have often entered a hardware store, lumberyard, or home center full of fear prior to making a small purchase. Probably the most frustrating thing is that when you ask a clerk for an itemwhether a succinct request for a paintbrush or pliers, or the more typical 'whatchamacallit that fits over the thing that you turn to make the doohickey work' (accompanied, no doubt, by broad, dramatic descriptive hand gestures)the clerk will come back at you, nine times out of ten, with a barrage of questions: 'Well, what are you using it for?' 'What size do you want?' 'You want top-of-the line or cheap?' 'Silicone or acrylic?' 'Galvanized or plain?' If you havent thought these questions through, this can be pretty demoralizing, embarrassing, and intimidating. I know. That's just the kind of experience that gave birth to this book. The All New Illustrated Guide to Everything Sold in Hardware Stores should serve to end your intimidation, help you avoid wrong purchases, and enable even you, too, to walk fearlessly into a hardware store or lumberyard and get exactly what you need.
