If you asked me for 'fir tree plugs' I would have sent you to a tree nursery... Did you describe them or just ask for 'fir tree plugs'? Maybe you should try to search for them on homedepot.com then you can find out what they are really called and ask for them by name.

 

With the amount of product homedepot stocks, I often will take a photo of the part/parts that I am looking for, helps the employees immensely.

 

lol! They are not technically called fir trees. I forget the name. Just look in the hardware section. There should be some in one of the sections.

 

loool i feel so newb now. i googled it though and it showed me the right ones but i guess i should print pics of it to show the employees there. i described it to them and they still didnt get it. looked in the hardware/screws/knockdown furniture section and still didnt find it. im starting to think maybe i should just grab some electrical tape lol. whos idea was that again? ;P

 

What are they called?! "Technically?

 

yeahh for sure! i dont know why i didnt think of that lol. ill try it out tonight and see how far that gets me in my "FIR TREE PLUG ADVENTURE".

btw hows ur RA man? did u get to work on it yet?

LMFAO

 

LOL WOW! See I knew that name came from somewhere. I would take that picture to them and see. Also try Lowe's if there is one around you. I dont think I have the package anymore from my car. The only other option I can think of would be like autozone or advanced auto. I know they sell clips for like our bumpers and stuff, not sure about the fir trees. Might be worth a trip if there is one around you.

 

Found it!

Autozone it is! Now that I remember I think i stopped at homedepo way back and they didn't have these exactly. Autozone is the place. Sorry about the confusion.

 

ill try that for sure! im gonna look like some dude looking for his missing pet loool!

me: sir, do you have any "fir tree plugs"?
dude: no, sorry havent seen those around..i dont even know wtf that is...
me: thank you mister...
dude: you can try googling "fir tree plugs" and then come back with another photo?
me: WTF BRO! LOOK! IT SAYS THESE ARE CALLED "FIR TREE PLUGS"!!!

fail convo...

 

im in Toronto, ON CANADA though..no autozone here as far as i know ;(

 

and btw i also tried to ask for NYLON PLUGS when i took a trip to home depot..the guy didnt know what that was either..i literally was like this...

*in my head* is this dude kidding me? im getting hardcore trolled right now...

 

Ah no autozone thats not good! But lol yeah sometimes the workers at home depo and similar places are clueless!

Might have to just order them online. Good luck!

 

noOoOoOoOo the dreaded wait of online shipping and shipping fees..noOoOoOoOo

 

Go to an auto store near you (like autozone, o'reillys, napa, advance auto...) Tell them you are looking for fir trees, panel clips, nylon retainers, or "the small black plug things". They should at least be able to point you in the right direction. Every auto store around here (cant say the same for canadia :P) has a section with an assortment of these type of plugs just dig around for a while and you'll find them, surely. lol
