    With tamz on this one.
    I have a massive collection of screws of different types 10's of 1000's.
    I bought the large gold carpenters case for its 16 trays but to be honest it gets in the way and the screws are not that strong.
    Now i am after a new case about 300mm square with quick silvers as the chouice.
    Turbo golds are really for cabinet making.

    I used to use one of the metal trade cases from screwfix but gave up when I forgot to latch it properly and spilt the lot. I now use a Stanley fatmax case and fill it myself. I'll occasionally buy a trade pack of screws when the special offer comes through but other than that I top up as I go along from Tradepoint, Plumbfix or Howdens.

    Ive got a couple of spax trade cases, top up with the ones I need. I used to use turbogold but found spax were better. It does depend on what they are used for IMO. You know what I find frustrating, my local plumb center don't sell brass screws for fixing down pans.. have they ever heard of cross selling?
