At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
I buy a lot of stuff at Tractor Supply Company out of convenience sake. You learn quickly to check the contents of the bins carefully, even if it's the high dollar stuff in the little baggies. I swear there must be black market for metric set screws out there because every bag I look at that's supposed to have, say, 3 in it has 1 and it might not be the right size at that!
You might want to get a "screw checker" from Brownells or any of a number of other outlets. It's basically a flat steel plate with various sized holes in it, tapped out to different thread sizes. I have 3 of them, 2 from Brownells in standard American sizes and in metric and another that I picked up somewhere that does wire sizes, sheet metal gauge sizes and some other stuff I can't recall. Use them often. Real handy when one of the tiny screws in a chainsaw carb takes a leap onto my filthy shop floor and you need to determine what size you need to hunt for.
