This is an old-fashioned "Mom & Pop" hardware store where you'll find good old-fashioned service and excellent value. If you have a question about any DIY project, their expertise is top-notch. It's a somewhat smaller store, but it is crammed full of good stuff. They sell quality merchandise. I have never bought anything there that has later broken or that I have not been able to use. They have everything from push brooms to water hoses and all kinds of nails, screws, bolts and little doo-dads, almost anything you might need. It's fun to browse there, too, although you'll probably end up buying something.

When I got there, the item in question was not on the shelf. I checked with the cashier, and she said the store computer shows they had multiple bags of product. She told me to wait until someone in the back could help me out. After 30-minutes of wasting my time, I finally talk to a supervisor of sorts, who basically just shrugged his shoulders. I said could you go look in the back because the computer said they had the inventory. Instead of at least making an effort and go in the back and look, he just said that the computer is unreliable and left it at that. Atwoods, if your customer-facing website is unreliable, then take it down!!! As a long-time customer of Atwoods, I'm not sure I'll ever go back. Customer service is everything.

My journey that ends at Harbor Freight began with an online purchase. I went online looking for a device to grind or sand down my toenails because they were hard to maintain. We bought one in expensively there but it started to have trouble upon second use and died on third use. We obtained a refund and saw the good ones there were about 70 dollars. My father suggested Harbor Freight. We found a model there for about 10 dollars. It appears there are a bunch of power tools including circular saws etc. I am not really knowledgeable about the big box improvement stores but in terms of independent retailers for difficult hardware items Harbor Freight and Atwoods is where it is at. For more about Atwoods and the other varied things that they sell see my review there. Harbor Freight has a wide variety of power tools and hardware supplies. My fiancé found what we were looking for at the register. I also found some other things attractive such as a magnesium block w striker designed to aid in making fires. Everything seemed priced to sell quickly. A customer in front of us appeared to be getting a refund with little trouble. All in all a great recommendation from my father and a great help for me and my fiancé. Won't hesitate to return the employees seemed relatively friendly and the prices seemed pretty reasonable.
