Like every other modern day industry, the screws and fasteners market has now gone online, and with great success. It’s what is expected of any type of business and those who fail to keep up with the times are really going to suffer badly.
Lets face it; the first place you turn to when looking for a particular building or construction tool (in our case, its always Bosch power tools), or even DIY equipment is the internet. You’ll find masses of technical information about the product you are interested in as well as various guides on how to use it, making it far easier to purchase the right tool for the job you are doing. It’s a far cry from the outdated old fashioned way that people have put up with for decades. Gone are the days when the only place you could purchase your fixings and fasteners was the high street DIY store or a national DIY chain; or for the construction industry it was the nearest wholesale supplier. Places like that were often very restrictive in their choice available due to lack of storage space and waiting for a delivery to fulfil your requirements was often a matter of several days delay. With the rise of the online tool suppliers, in many cases you can order one day and receive it the next, particularly if you live within a certain radius or delivery area, meaning delays are kept to an absolute minimum. Often deliveries can be free of charge if you spend over a certain amount, so you’re not only saving on delivery costs but on the retail price as well.
It certainly is a vast improvement for the DIY and construction industry. The choice of products on a particular site can amount to thousands; far more than is available locally making it much more convenient.
