I actually haven't been in for a while since I don't live that way anymore, but I intend to get back there asap jjst so I can feel what it's like to be in a REAL hardware store again. They actually carry hardware, which the big box stores almost stopped carrying. Anyway, I can't recommend this store enough. If you need anything from a screw to a light fixture, they likely will be able to hook you up! Oh, and their prices are awesome too WE NEED TO SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS AND ALL SMALL BUSINESSES. It's so important.

Auntie tried to grow strawberries... Home Depot said "not today"…read more Let Auntie put you on real quick... If you're trying to grow your own food (because grocery prices are doing THE MOST), The Home Depot is a solid place to start--but keep your receipt, okay? Now listen... I grabbed strawberry roots (red & white) and a berry plant, fully committed to my "grow my own fruit" era. Bought compost, followed directions, even went to YouTube University like a good student Not gonna lie... Them plants said absolutely nothing back to me. No sprouts, no greens... just vibes and dry roots After 3 1/2 weeks, I realized I was out here watering ghosts. BABY... they sold me dead plants. But overall... Here's where they redeemed themselves--returns were EASY. No attitude, no hassle. I brought everything back (yes, I dug up every last root like a crime scene investigation ‍), showed my receipt, and got my full refund. They even reminded me I have 90 days if anything goes left. Pro tip: open a free business account so your receipts stay on file--thank me later for that one too. "Do yourself a favor and try it first... and you can thank me later "

I went to Home Depot and other craft stores, to no avail. The location is in the industrial area of El Cajon, in a business plaza corner all the way in the back. It is easy to find though. I waited for a good 15-20 minutes... One of the guys said their Rush is between 11-1 pm. I was promptly assisted and the gentleman found the screws I needed. They weren't the EXACT same in girth, but they were the same length and threading. The guys working there are slightly awkward. I don't know if it was because I was a lady, but I raised my eyebrows quite a bit to their rhetoric. Aside from that and the wait I give this place 4 stars based on the fact that, like a guy who reviewed previously... This place has EVERY fastener you may need. This is your last resort for sure. Thumbs up.
