As the saying goes, "If you don't live here you probably don't want to go
there." Basically Fry's sucks dead rodents through a hose. And most of the
stuff on the shelf seems to have been returned at one point and never do
they shave a penny off that price. I once heard someone brag that they
didn't need to buy a digital camera, they just bought one at Fry's and
returned it when they were done. :-( That and the fact that they drove the
decent electronics stores out of business makes me hate them even more.
However, they do get things now and again and if you know _exactly_ what
you want, they can be useful to have near by.

Other places stock the Ideal Industries tools, however the MMJ one is often
not stocked.

If you need one, I could probably be bribed with a couple of dozen
uncrimped MMJs to be your transfer agent and get you one. Contact me off
list if you want to go that route.
