I need to find a place to buy nuts and bolts of all sizes (to the small side is my "current" issue) and other house hold items here in Kuwait. Perhaps even an electrical supply store.

Now, I do know of an ACE Hardware store just outside Avenues Mall, but that will not work.

Any help or ideas?

Thanks in advance!

i think you should take a visit to Bin Nisf.a hardware store.Bin Nisf is located in Shuwaikh in the street behind where the old IKEA used to be located.hope this might help

Thanks Ace!

Could you explain a little more about the location of this place. Just as a sugestion, if you can find the location of it on google earth or similar app and just give me the lat and long I could find it that way. Or just more directions and referances.

Thanks!

Another place:

Go to Avenues Mall (Side Entrance).

Closeby you will find Kharafi National Buildings (3 and 4)

Next to these building is 'True Value'. In the basement is a huge DIY section....nut (and bolt) heaven.

Hi Satcomguy,
Don't go far if you were newbie in Kuwait. Go to the closest Co-Operation in your area and go directly to the Department of Family Supplies, all you need will be there beside you.
