The following local suppliers have been found to be rather useful:
Clas Ohlson
- Website: www.clasohlson.co.uk
- Location: 26-28 The Headrow
Some sort of genetic experiment to cross Ikea with Argos appears to have gone terribly wrong and resulted in Clas Ohlson. They stock all sorts of incredibly useful stuff.
Useful products:
- Nut and bolt set - M3-M6 nuts bolts and washers - don't run out!
- Assorted springs - Very handy in all sorts of projects.
Farnell
- Website: uk.farnell.com
- Location: Maybrook Industrial Estate, Armley
The Farnell trade counter in Armley is always worth a visit. Just don't expect to buy only what you went there for, the shelves full of discounted items are highly addictive.
HacMan have their own list of useful stuff
Maplin
- Website: www.maplin.co.uk
- Location: 3 Regent Street
Given its proximity to the hackspace Maplin is always worth a visit for that one component you need to finish off a project, but beware - they hold very little stock, so if you need more than 2 or 3 of something you may find you're out of luck.
Model Shop
- Website: www.modelshopleeds.co.uk
- Location: 86-88 Crossgates Road
The model shop in Crossgates stocks servos, motors, construction materials and paints and is yet another place where enthusiasm can result in you spending plenty of cash.
Useful products:
