Huge fan of Rocky's Ace Hardware…read more This location is so convenient for me. Saves me having to drive to ManchVegas to Lowes or Home Depot for my home repair/improvement needs. Prices here are slightly higher than that of the two aforementioned establishments, but the time saved in travel and parking, etc., is important to me. And...I hate those huge friggin' home improvement places, anyway. I've never been let down when it comes to things being out of stock. Heck, this is even my go to spot for propane refills! Nice touch...on weekends, they have hot popcorn for free! Need something quick? Go here. Don't waste your time in the big boxes. Your stress level will thank you.

Star Hardware is a testament to how things used to be and how there is no room or need in small town America for the big box stores that bring very little value to the smaller communities across this country. Where can you go to get your window screens repaired, keys cut and your propane bottles filled while you wait and a place you can carry on a conversation about your home project with an employee that really understands what you're talking about and can offer real solutions and short cuts that will save you time, money and a lot of frustration and ask you about your family or a local event you both attended. I've been to this location many times and have yet to be disappointed. This friendly hometown store is not only convenient with competitive pricing, it gives back to the local community so the dollars you spend here benefits the local schools, community programs, community sports and clubs. Buying local isn't just about doing the right thing it's about keeping the right things alive in your community.

Overall the selection is pretty decent...it is nice to have a hardware store of this size in the area (It's significantly bigger than the Ace on 44 in Bolton). Their hours are quite limited, and have often left me running all the way to HD or Lowe's in Manchester for impromptu weekend warrior work...so definitely check their hours or call before showing up. Prices are also a tad high (maybe 5-10% on most things I have bought), but I easily save that in time and gas (when they're open). The parking lot is huge if that's a concern, so feel free to bring a landscape trailer if needed. The people working there are all generally nice, and have helped me load my vehicle with cold patch bags, etc. on more than one occassion.

The store itself is a time capsule from the mid 90's. Check out takes longer then it should because they haven't updated their debit/credit card reader in 25 years. You sign a paper receipt. Update for God sake! How much is a chip reader? Think of the unrealized savings on register tape, pens and time. Kidding aside, I only go there if I'm confident they're going to have what I'm looking for. We're talking rope, a hammer, can of spray paint or an extension cord. Anything else, I'm going to the Depot.

The staff wears masks, is friendly and offers help in a non pushy way. There is a plexiglass shield and hand sanitizer at the cash register, the same place they cut keys. I am constantly surprised at the vast array of products they manage to stock. Check it out ! Love this mom & pop style hardware shop adding to the charm on Main St at the Manchester road race starting line. This place is significantly larger than it appears from the front with parking and entrances on main st. and out back. The selection of products is far more than I've expected and ranges from paint to key cutting to lawn care tsalt to any kind of hardware you need. I always hit this place up when I can and can usually avoid home depot and Lowe's. Prices are very comparable too. Love supporting a local business when I can. :)

I met Scott and Linda who were managing the store the weekend I arrived in CT from VT…read more Scott managed the partner company "Just Ask Rental" and is a professional commercial landscaper, arborist, and equipment operator and a "fixer of all things mechanical." Linda manages Merchandising and Client Services....... she also brings you to the stuff you can't find. Both were expert in providing insight and solutions and were clearly highly educated, responsive, and engaged. The store has a strong Mechanical / Electro Mechanical, Plumbing, Landscaping, Building, Contracting, and Lighting section. If what you need isn't there Linda will have it at your home or job site the next morning. To me it was like visiting my friend's store in Johnson, VT. Family, fun, and your needs met. What I mean by fun is the shopping experience......... peaceful and angst-free....... very unusual compared to the chaos filled big box stores. The "Just Ask Rental" partnered with this True Value Store had what I needed in helping preparing my parent's flower and seed beds for the growing season that is set to begin. My family and I heartily endorse England's True Value Hardware and Just Ask Rental specifically at the Route 44 Bolton, CT site. Mark Renkert, Mcsl South Burlington, Vermont

My latest experience was to purchase both a ballast and T12 lightbulbs. I'm not afraid to ask for help and say I don't know something. I didn't even have to wait, someone came over and offered to help me. He told me where I could find ballasts and even said they are giving them away. He tried to first find me something on clearance as he wanted to save me money. When the one I was looking for was not there in clearance, he me the right one, which was about $18. I was looking for LED lights, but he convinced me that this might not be a good fit, today, because they were new and have not come down in price. This light is at the bottom of my stairs and won't be used often so I'll give it a few more months before I address LED lights again. What he gave me was the ability to get my bottom of the stairs lights back, not just a product. Home Depot does it well and that's why this is my home store for hardware.

HOWEVER... delivery was scheduled... the driver called at 11:45 to tell us they would be there in 20 minutes. At 12:00 I received a text stating "they could not complete our delivery" and someone would call to reschedule. WHAT?? Well apparently, due to a storm, there was a tree down on a street in our neighborhood (not ours) and the drivers chose not to detour the ONE MINUTE it would have taken them to go around the block. They just called 15 minutes earlier... they couldn't call me back??? I immediately called the delivery number they gave me and was told the drivers could NOT turn around, and the next delivery date was several days out. I went above and beyond to prepare for this delivery... even putting the old refrigerator right by the door for them. The drivers must be in the business of losing money for the company... after this debacle we immediately cancelled the order and purchased elsewhere.
