I'm doing some work that required a stout piece of angle iron, and my search ended here. The…read morelocation is in a very modern industrial section of Olathe, so I was worried that I'd be unable to afford the steel. But I was worried for naught: the 2"x2"x3/16" surplus angle iron I picked up was surprisingly affordable!
My visit was strictly retail, and it was also quick and surprisingly easily accomplished. I doubt any home improvement or hardware store has anything close to this impressive steel selection at anything close to surplus prices.
I was fortunate to speak with the owner Dayna when I called, and when I arrived, after she'd finished with another customer, she "showed me the ropes", in other words how to find what I wanted from the various places where it's stocked in piles or in racks here. She even provided me with gloves so my hands stayed clean. Next time I hope to remember to bring work gloves.
This is a BIG steel company, and they also sell in quantities to industry, so the selection is very impressively varied. Being a sort of casual, limited-needs customer, I still felt well treated, including when I needed my selection cut to size by Darrell (in one of the large bays out behind the retail shop).
As I told them, I'm sure to return! Thanks, RMI and Dayna!
Five easy stars.
