Spent a good 10 seconds dumbfounded by the idea of £99 for a single 30mm screw before my dopey arse saw the ‘per KG’ part. I am not a smart man…

Does throw up some amusing scenarios though.

“_NEW from B&Q – get yourself a super-reliable elder screw, forged in the very heart of a dying star from dragonheart mythril and imbued with the souls of a million celestial beings. Ideal for decking._”

  1. That’s still an outrageous price for about 500 screws.

  2. I was in the timber section at B&Q last week and the young lad working there asked if I wanted decking.

    So I got the first punch in.

  3. Jim sends wife Mary down to the diy+gardening centre for a hinge. She looks around while the bloke is rummaging around in the back. He shouts “Do you wanna screw for that hinge?” She answers “No, but I’ll bl*w you for a lawnmower.”

  4. Daily Bugle screw, fresh from the Spiderman Universe. Hiring Dr. Strange to get then aint cheap

  5. The B&Q website is the only website I’ve ever actually complained to the company about because of how bad it is.
    It’s hard to navigate and the information it provides is useless. I was looking something up and trying to find it’s dimensions but it tells you how big the box it comes in is, not the size of the product itself.

    I need to use it as a reference a lot for work and I avoid it wherever I possibly can.

  6. $7.99 lb (X2.204) in Home Depot (American B&Q). I think you guys are getting screwed!

  7. The screw to hold my mental stability together.

  8. B&Q prices are outrageous. The company preys on DIYers. Tradesmen know better.

  9. That’s a tenners worth of drywall screws! B&Q need to close. Their prices are beyond laughable.

  10. My mate paid €100 for 1 screw in Amsterdam.

    This is a bargain lol 😆

  11. Carbon steel and about 5% of them will still probably snap halfway in.
