if you don't have a hex head ratcheting screwdriver you might as well throw it all out

i have allen key

― jw (ex machina), Saturday, 17 February 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

the allen key is the dumbest thing about IKEA, it makes everything 11x harder than it has to be.

when I got my futon frame with hex head screws from somewhere else they actually sent along a hex screwdriver bit, like, hey, we actually expect you to own a tool or two at your house, instead of assuming you're a big college moron with nothing to your name so here's a funny-looking piece of metal that is painful and frustrating for everyone

IKEA : allen key :: OS X : Finder

― TOMB07 (trm), Saturday, 17 February 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

If the pocket is deep enough allen keys aren't SO bad, you can get them spinning as long as the working end stays lodged in. Besides, given the quality of IKEA wood products you'd probably strip all the holes at drill speeds.

jon wouldn't listen when i told him a drill would be too much for his bed to handle!

― tehresa (tehresa), Saturday, 17 February 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, eventually, I guess. I have a set of shelves that I've moved like 4 times and I've broken it all down and bagged up the hardware for every one of 'em. Getting mushy now.

drill speeds? who the fuck needs a dynamo to build a bed? I'm talking about RATCHETING.

― TOMB07 (trm), Saturday, 17 February 2007 18:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, I don't have a ratchet set.

DUDE, I went to the Home Depot in Bay Ridge a couple of weeks ago, the trip is (spottily) chronicled on my flickr pgs...it's relatively nearby but not very accessible w/o car, mostly just cos you have to walk along expressway on-ramps & divided-lane highways with no sidewalks or cross-walks and stuff like that.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:17 (seventeen years ago) link

there's a home depot or two in manhattan now.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

or you could just like go to a regular hardware store.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

For ratchets, okay, but I needed Perlite for potting soil and Bklyn hware stoers do not carry in winter-time.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I am starting to hate the Pintchik on flatbush

at first it was "yay they have everything" but then you realize you have to have someone buzz you in to a locked glass case to get out a 3-cent nail

― dmr (dmr), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

i bet that one place near bam with the plants and things has potting soil.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I have killed two generations of rosemary by leaving them outside during rainstorms in overly rich potting soil, they like it dry and sandy and Mediterranean and I am determined to triumph this time.

Pintchik has let me bring my bike inside, though, to match nut/bolt sizes! Even though it was dripping water on their floor and in the way of other customers, how nice. The locked cases are retarded esp when all employees are too busy to help you.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Stence, I thought about that place but I've heard it's expensive...?

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

fuck, you're paying for dirt, i dunno how it wouldn't be "expensive" in some sense.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Phew! Luckily no one asked you to plant anything or to give a shit!

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

oh you need fertilizer too?

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Saturday, 17 February 2007 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Are you offering? Because I'd rather go back to on-ramp land.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 17 February 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

WOW I am REALLY avoiding laundry if I'm willing to get into fite with H. Stencil on the internets.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 17 February 2007 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

you guys!!!

― TOMB07 (trm), Saturday, 17 February 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I know the Hamilton Ave. Home Depot well. You should go to the Lowes across the street though, so you don't have to cross underneath the overpass and because they are more helpful in there and less crowded.

― Carey (Carey), Saturday, 17 February 2007 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

laurel, how in any way is this fighting? i am just making joeks.

oddly enough, i walked by a hardware store on grand near me in williamsburg and noticed that they had potted soil sitting out for sale.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Saturday, 17 February 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link
