Sorry, I thought Bunnings would stock SAE. They did the last time I noticed. Looks like a trip to a specialist supplier.
The quality of sales advice does vary considerably. At my local store I have my preferred 'victim' if I need advice. Older chap, possibly a tradie who has got off the tools, seems to know everything and would certainly know SAE. You're right though about some of the casuals - wouldn't know left-handed screwdrivers from striped paint.
