where to buy mini suction cup

Any chain stores or department stores that carry mini suction cups? I need one to remove and replace my roundels. I don\'t want to order anything online, either. Thanks.

Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Osh, Lowes, etc...

Just look in the section with hooks you can hang on the wall, mirror, etc. They all sell hooks mounted to mini suction cups.

I asked at Walmart, and they said no. I'm looking for the suction cup with the two handles that allows for easy and secure suction.

If you have one, use the suction cup of your windshield-mounted GPS. Works like a charm.

You really don't need that to remove the roundels, honest!

Lots of those retail store results are for online ordering only... For example, the first major retail store result is Walmart... and buying it from there is the same as buying it online through toolking.com... It's so obvious that I would have googled it before asking here that the fact that you suggested google in that condescending way is pretty funny

To be honest I didn't see the commentary boxes until now- I just thought it was an automated search you could set up for folks looking for stuff. Sorry about that, that is kind of a slap in the face.

I thought it would be a brilliant way to do tech support for the less tech-savvy people I know...until I saw the sassy commentary.

Yup! I didn't even watch it through. So OP, did you ever find those elusive suction cups you needed? I doubt a Garmin suction cup is practical, maybe perhaps for lifting a bowling ball from the bowling alley rack

You available this week? I have 2 more drivers coming in on Tuesday so I'll be opening up my headlights...again, and adding those in. :/

But any time after that is fine.

I'll shoot you a PM with my # and we'll set something up.
