Its easy to see how those could get missed, I usually spend at least an hour in there and always feel like I missed something. The place is usually crammed with so much stuff.

When you go in the store, tell an employee the item number of what you're looking for. They should lead you right to it.

Totally agree with this comment.  We have one in the Seattle area - somewhat near the Fry's electronics so I will often head down there without the wife and have a 'guy' shopping trip  ;D

Great place for inexpensive, infrequently used specialized tools.  And some of their tools are actually quite decent.  I bought a rotary polisher there for $30 and it's lasted longer than the Porter&Cable it replaced.  I use it every summer to polish my boat - so it gets a decent workout once a year.

Of course, you could easily just buy a Sharpie too at that price.

Most of the assortments come with a paper listing the sizes and tray layout. You can tape it inside the lid so you know what you've used and what to reorder individually.
