| I'm looking for these caps/plugs. The place where I was getting them is getting a different version with smaller fingers. These are either 7/8" or 3/4", can't remember, but either should suffice. If you see these in your wanderings, let me know where, or I can paypal $$$ if you can pick them up and send them!

| Most common use is to plug knock out holes in electrical boxes so they can be salvaged.
I've got a couple dozen Steam but they are the newer type.

| Yeah, those are the ones I'm finding more and more. The long ones are getting hard to find. Can you guess where the long ones were made, and where the short ones are made?

| well the electric knock outs aren't usually chrome like that. They are too small for stainless sink knock outs. That's why I was asking where they came from.

| No luck, eh? If you're on a trip to the hardware store, look in the 'fasteners' section. I really need these, about 10 of them...
