I wanted to repair my suitcase wheel attachment by drilling a through hole and bolting it, But they wouldn't let me borrow the drill. So they just sold me one nail that I had to hammer through the plastic. And then finding the right size screw took a while. You ask them for a specific size and then they bring out 10 different screws one at a time that don't actually match what you asked for.
