These Retroflag NESPI Case+ for Raspberry Pi 3 / 2 and B+ with Screws / Screwdrivers are like buses. You wait ages for one then 2 come together.

Make sure to change the currency to USD if you have a fee free credit card. £8.90 then. Edit: And untick "insurance"!

Raspberry ripple is better !

Some TVs can be funny, if your pi is connected to your network and you are comfortable using putty to SSH onto your pi i can give you the bits of code needed to force HDMI sound?

You'll need a usb keyboard. There's another way to force sound over HDMI in the settings menu, but you'll also need a keyboard to change it IIRC.

Really? I'm new to this how can I fix it please?

Cost me £10.97 >:¬( There are apparently fakes of these out there with the above mentioned voltage issues: http://retroflag.com/Beware-of-fake-NESPi-Case.html Guess I'll find out personally when mine arrives. Edit: looks as though that link's for the non plus model. Guess I'll never find out.

Thanks for updating the code, ordered one for my lad's retropie

I use mine as a Social Media Interface based on the Pi theme, but i'm struggling with licensing the name for some reason. Ginstergram

true, but the latest powers through the ethernet port too, so every need for the port. More so, in fact :)

The latest pi has wireless so no need for the port

Quite poor, A fan and heatsink is advised. The case has a fan header I think. I ordered this as well https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0744G58P4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Forgefix. They are brilliant, especially for the price. They're passivated, so won't rust, countersunk, and they go in so smoothly I never soap them. Hardly bother with a pilot either, unless very near the end. I get them from Amazon, and look at the reviews. I'd say they are on a par with turbo gold, but less than half the price. Love them.

Decking screws or stainless steel would be a better choice.

what do you recommend, and where can I find it? TIA

They are made from carbon steel, so will definitely rust if used outside.

They have loads of screws on offer. EG GOLDSCREW PLUS PZ DOUBLE SELF-COUNTERSUNK WOODSCREWS 4.5 X 30MM 200 PACK for 86p Worth a look through the section on woodscrews

Over priced even at 30 quid,A garbage range of power tools, Using the word 'Power', Very lightly.

I wouldnt recommend the mouse Sander. I got one from asda for £15 at clearance but it fell to bits after 3 days of use.

The mouse sander shows up on the ASDA groceries app.

That's us all screwed now, they are back to £19.99, so maybe it's time to expire the deal.

By the time they rust, the decking will be replaced twice. If decking is not coverd by a roof or a thick layer of paint, it will not last longer than 10-15years max. Those screws will live longer than that unless damaged.

Please can I recommend the ones with a slim head? I bought them from Toolstation. They come with the correct bit to drive them in. Reason is, I have built 4 decent sized decks and I always used the Philips wide head screws before and they always were visible. With the thin head screws they sink into the wood and become almost invisible. Can still reach if need to undo and the pattern of the hole to accept the bit is such that you get a better fit so less slipping.

Organic coatings are nearly always a barrier coating. That is to say they provide corrosion protection by forming a barrier between the substrate and the atmosphere, and if this is broken protection ceases. Still rusts since it's carbon steel if the protection is gone.

These are the organic coated screws for decking.

Been waiting for these to drop. Thanks OP! 8)

True, I meant a similar discount. They were £49.99 yesterday as I ordered them but will now be returning!

It's cheaper because these are the white ambience version, not the colour bulb like the other deal. Still hot, I need to pick up 2 X E14 and 2 X E27 so can now use the 15% off deal at Amazon.

Mine arrived yesterday morning too :D

Mine arrived yesterday. Great quality. Thanks OP

Mike's also stuck in Belgium, has been since Thursday...

How long does it take to be delivered? Mine say destination unknown from Belgium???

Ordered the huawei fitness tracker from rosegal, still not arrived and that was around a month or so ago and its been in the UK for a couple of weeks, almost certain i'll be hit with some sort of courier charge now. Really wish I hadn't bothered.

I've found dewalt very good, too many short ones in this pack for me, useful for someone though.

Good price, but you'd be better off buying a Makita set from Amazon for £4 (add on) which has 5 commonly used sizes and will likely long outlast these. Voted hot though, a good price either way.

I'm screwed, there's none in stock.

What a bargain!

OOS

Oos

Yeh, notify me as well coz they just phoned to cancel. Can’t find them allegedly! :/ (fierce)

Pound? Have some heat. Some places like B&Q would charge more than a pound for a plastic container. Will get some of these as plenty stocked in this area's Homebases.

cool got two.. wanted that organiser case too thanks

And if your on a budget........ https://www.homebase.co.uk/homebase-handy-hardware-chipboard-screws_p299889

Thanks OP Looks mostly small sizes Ok if you need them. Once or twice a Year Lidl do an assortment of different sized ones mostly alot bigger than this for about £3 I had a look in B&Q and reckoned it would cost about £11 to match the quantity and sizes. Grab them while they are cheap.

For a pound, who cares!!

I think Screwfix sell the box for about £7. There's a larger box too at a tenner, and the compartments are interchangeable. That said, I've found the compartments on these particular ones are slightly taller than in the Screwfix ones, so they need taking down a bit for a good fit in the other boxes. But I've got four this size and four large ones and just swap them about as required.

I've been buying turbogolds when they are cheap, so have good stocks of the more obscure sizes. I don't need to use them often, I'm a data monkey not a chippy, but lately I'm doing a lot of hardware jobs in my 'spare' time and these are really getting my attention. At present I only have 60/80/100mm but I find I always reach for these over the TGs when I need that length, I'm going to get a few of these just for the variety. Didn't realise on my phone that these are removable compartments too, the box must be worth a fiver easy.

They're brilliant. I don't know why I didn't change to these years ago. I thought I'd try a pack and realised I was going for them all the time, rather than pozi's, so that was it. Luckily my pozi stocks were running down anyway so it wasn't a great sacrifice.

You know what, I never realised how much difference the different head makes. It really does though, a lot less slipping even at obscure angles

Yes these are very good, they also don't fall off your screw driver as well.

OOS in the NE too. Good find though

Yes and is in title thx, and picture is Screwfixes own not mine. This is what happens when I try and be helpful,all info is there (poo)

Still longer than most of the screws I've had.....

Ordered for C@C three other packs for less than £4. Best value is the Goldscrew 5 by 45mm for 99p... https://media.screwfix.com/is/image//ae235?src=ae235/18909_P&$prodImageMedium$ Should look like this..

That's a better deal than ops as ops deal no where to be found (lol) (lol) (lol)

Ordered...to go with my new DeWalt impact driver which arrived today! (y)

I think I understand what you mean but the 'sleeve' doesn't appear to move at all. The only movement is the bit itself moving due to the internal spring. I feel sure I must just be being an idiot and missing something obvious but if you get the chance to post again once yours arrives it would be much appreciated!

Not received mine yet - but you usually have to pull the sleeve of the holder forward (or back) then pull the bit out

Can any one that has this set answer what is probably a stupid question for me. Once you put the magnetic screw holder over the screwdriver bit, do you simply use brute force to take it off again when needed or is there a trick to it? Mine arrived today and I just tried the holder together with the bit packaged next to it to get an idea of how it worked and now it doesn't want to come off again!

Ordered, thanks a lot and heat added.

Back in stock people (highfive) (highfive) (highfive) (cheeky) (cheeky) (cheeky)

You could always cancel yrs and let me buy it :p

out of stock. I must have grabbed the last one. Thankfully got there in the nick of time before OOS. Best Regards,

whats oos do you mean oops

OOS.

50mm galvanized nails for the boards, 80s for the rails, 50s for counter rail and gravel board

Hot! Satisfying screw fix

Need to put together some feather edge fencing which are suitble?

Purchased. Thanks

Got the TurboGold 1000pc box of various sizes a while back for a renovation and were pretty good from what I remember. If you need any of these sizes on offer I can't see why you'd spend multiple times more on spax screws unless someone has used both and can say that spax or another brand are far superior to these? With them being double self countersunk and having a sharp tip I'd think they are more than adequate for most jobs. I had some of these, along with some decking screws left out in the rain for a couple of months over the winter and didn't notice any rust or deterioration so seem to be well made. Might stock up on them while they're at this price.

The few I got to use were great, but I'm passive aggressive fighting with a 75 year old that wants to put nails in everything! Not yet sure if I prefer them to the turbogold, the T20 (or was it T25?) heads seem a better driver and my drill seems to drive them better than PZ2s. I certainly won't rule them out in future, but I need to use them a bit more first. I found some screws with teeth in the bottom 5mm of thread that really work well in slatboard, but no idea where I got them! Must find out as they countersunk really well.

Had a go? Any good?

I'm also looking for a good screw, but will these do? Further info of the pack size below: (strong)

I've missed a good screw for a while since I've had sciatica.

Ahhh! For one minute I thought you were in with a pitch for Grand Designs lol.

Couldn't believe how much I got into the large bag and realised I could have got a bit more in if I'd perfected my shaking technique. Bag seems like 1-2kg in weight. Put in the large items then filled the gaps with small screws. Only just managed to seal the bag. Felt I cheated myself when after walking to the till a pocket of space appeared at the top of the bag. Only about 6 items are in the bag that I actually need at this moment in time, another 600 probably for future use.

Good deal but regular price. Larger bag is much better value. When you get home you can sit down for a couple of evenings and sort out your 'mixed' buy into the different sizes again! ;)

I bought a whole bag of these about two years ago, and haven't used a single one.

As a table top war gamer, 400+ 25mm metal bases (25mm Washers) for £2.99 is a bargain. Just be careful if you really fill the bag. A friend packed it as full as he could. All was fine, until the cashier dropped the bag and the seam gave.

stop screwing around!!
