Dang... I wasn't issued a money gun. Wrong MOS I guess.Alright, you have convinced me Mike. I have to be honest... I've never even lookedat Wicks. I had a AS&S catalog, so what little exposure I've had with orderingairplane stuff I've done with them . I need some turnbuckles, cable, thimbles,etc., so I will at least do some comparison shopping this afternoon.Notice I did not mention the Nicopress tool... I've got my scouts out at Home Depotlooking for one of those. Thanks John.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:40:34 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: ASSCO,inc

I've had problems with AS&S before, items they said were in stock but were thenback ordered and so on, so have used Wicks for a long time. I decided to giveAS&S another try a few months ago on a wood order, most of it came OK, I'msure it meets the mil spec, but it isn't as nice as the stuff from Wicks, andone piece was missing. I called numerous times and kept getting "we'll take careof it", and finally after six weeks the missing piece showed up, and it lookedlike they bought it at Lowe's, although it might have 6 rings per inch. Back to Wicks for wood, although AS&S sometimes does have good prices on hardwareand etc. Wicks is definitely better for quality and customer service.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 18:25:02 -0400
