I want to like these guys, however... I reserved a small tractor two weeks in advance. When the day came for them to deliver they informed me my rental wasn't available. They offered to upgrade me to a larger unit that was missing some functionality. I agreed. I had to call for pickup early to avoid additional service charges when a tire came off the rim. It was apparently under inflated. There were indications that the setup was rushed when they couldn't deliver the tractor I reserved, turns out that the box scraper was apparently installed improperly and didn't work well. I paid for a whole week but only had it for 5 days due to no fault of my own. read more

I was on standby to begin an underground electrical project because I didn't yet have the assortment of components needed. For an hour or so I had searched online sites for several of those components to no avail. I called Karl's Hardware without great hope (thinking, "How would a smaller, local store compete with the bigs regarding product availability."), and boy was I wrong. They had nearly everything per my "wish list" and beyond that offered better variety (e.g., in lengths of electrical wiring) than the big stores. Even still, while I was indeed amazed with the inventory, that wasn't the best part. It was Aubern that took my initial call and met me in person as I arrived. She very proactively found almost everything with a problem-solving-can-do spirit. She located items quickly, coordinated with other staff to confirm specs, found alternatives for the rare item or two that wasn't in stock, and helped me find my most cost-effective bundle of parts when all was said & done. Karl's is a truly excellent hardware store with great staff and selection! read more

This little hardware store is awesome! They absolutely have always had what I needed, even when I was skeptical that they wouldn't. Very friendly and knowledgeable service. They do get busy at time so you just have to be patient sometimes, but their service out weighs the bigger stores like HD and Lowe's. This is definitely my go to hardware store. read more

I've tried on several occasions in the last two weeks to enter the gun room. Every time, the door is locked or "he may be out to lunch". Even after coming back hours later, he's still at lunch. This is friggin ridiculous. Why advertise that you sell firearms when it's not to the public? Kinda think DOJ should hear about this read more

I like this store . For a smaller hardware store they have a good selection and service is great.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Outstanding business, it has that old home town feel that you miss in the big chain stores.

I'm very impressed with Karl's. I'm from a big city & wasn't expecting much, but they have EVERYTHING! Sure it's kind of crowded, but when ya need something it's right here in Rosamond! Also I'm blown away at the prices. I would expect things to cost more because of convenience & it's not a big chain store, but I found that it's usually LESS than Home Dept & Lowe's! The employees always go above & beyond to help me. I've purchased paint supplies, packing supplies, tools, AC vent cover, screws, nails, ammunition, etc. read more

Crowded merchandise, can't find anything! Asked clerk behind counter, 'Where could I find a putty knife?' Clerk 'Go to last aisle, turn left to back wall. It's somewhere on that wall.' Spent about 5 minutes walking up and down that wall, never found that putty knife. Went back to counter, no one there! Better luck and less time consuming to drive to Lancaster and hit Home Depot or Lowe's! read more

Great service and very friendly. Great inventory. They repaired my leaf blower, which is hard to find.

The service in the nursery was very helpful. The plants were in poor shape but I found what I needed. The prices for potting soil were fair.

When the kind people at the Jeep dealership did not replace a bolt on our skid plates properly, I found myself calling all over the AV to find a replacement. With each call, I grew more frustrated and thought I was going to have to get online to special order it. Finally, Fastenal recommended I try Karl's. I had to laugh because I was willing to drive 50 miles south to find a part that could very well be within a mile or so of me. I arrived at Karl's, my friendly neighborhood hardware store where I frequently rent tools (saws, hammer drills, etc.) and buy supplies including Borax for those pesky ants, and found my way to the helpful guys in the back by the guns. I explained my dilemma and without missing a beat, one of them walked with me out to my car, got under the Jeep to see what we needed, and then proceeded to find the bolt and washers amid the giant wall of hardware. To say I am impressed with the selection and service here would be an understatement. We really have a gem in the desert with Karl's, which has a military discount to boot. read more

Awesome old school hardware store. Needed some oddball bolts and they had them ! Just looking through the shop they have a lot of stuff the big box stores don't read more

Since the last reviewer brought the Shooting subject up, this place used to sell guns also , and the area used by all the local shooting enthusiasts just happened to be located on a piece of desert property the owner of this store owned part of. Just recently he stopped selling guns and Now he has posted all the property around the shooting area as CLOSED NO TRESPASSING Guess it was okay when he sold the guns to most of us who shot out there ! As for hardware they have everything under the sun there, if no one else has it then you will find it there! Service is at an Exceptional level and price well lets say at the price of fuel now a days for small purchases its about what you would expect. And to my surprise I saw the other day they have a pretty large nusery section tucked away in the rear I never saw it till a friend walked me around to show me something, it was worth a look Unfortunately on Principal alone I refuse to spend my money here read more

This place is great. After moving from Los Angeles to here this place has came in handy when making alterations to my newly bought home especially since I dread the drive to Lancaster to Lowes or home depot. Staff are pretty attentive and they always have things in stock. Best of yet, I found out that this place has a freaking gun store in the back!!!! Now that is awesome!! read more

Came here after searching at Home Depot for hours. George helped me out. Great costumer service and they knew exactly what I needed. Thank you George and Karl's Hardware. read more

If you need it, they have it. They also hire people in the trade that are very knowledgeable. Great place to get hardware, parts, supplies, and rent equipment of all sorts. read more

Amazing selections of hardware, and more than the big chain hardware stores I have come to dislike. This place usually has it from rentals, power equipment, nuts & bolts of all types, keys made, hand tools, power tools, plumbing parts, electrical parts..and Guns & Ammo. The gun store was closed while they waited for another permit but it is open and better than ever before. The best part is when you ask someone if they have a certain item..they don't repeat back what you said and stare stupidly like Home Depot, they answer right back where and get you someone to help you with it. The hardware store in Mojave is theirs too and good thing. Plus there is another one down the east bound 58 owned by them. Another plus is they don't deal in cheap Chinese crap..they have Still power tools over on the rental side. They are usually my first and only stop for hardware while in AV read more

The Gun Room at Karl's has a great selection of firearms and the employees are very helpful, patient, and kind there. I went on my 18th birthday to buy my first shotgun and those guys couldn't have given me a better experience read more

Karl's Hardware - This was the shotgun that the boys at Karl's helped me pick out - Hardware Stores Near Me - Rosamond, California

After giving the folks at Karl's hardware my full faith and credit--then spending a few thousand dollars, I fell in love with the attitude of these guys. Gone for me were the Home Depot and Name a Big Box days of poorly trained and incompetent boobs. By choosing to drive, however, the nearly 50 mile round trip it takes to get to and from my farm to Karl's, I knew I'd have a substantial investment of my time invested each time I needed something. With that I'm mind I went ahead and made a few--okay, something like 5 round trips--to get my brand spanking new, DR Power chipper/shredder, repaired. First it was the intake manifold weld breaking, causing the manifold to literally "fly off" while operating the machine one early morning. Needing it fixed right away, I chose to spend $400 and have the team at Karl's fix it, rather than "wait" for the warranty work to be done. Okay, shit happens. I get that. I run manufacturing companies all over the country. Then, after spending two more trips and another $400.00 on my $900.00 new unit--which, because of Tom's original commitment to help me going forward, I actually gave Karl's an extra $100.00 over the price they were selling it for, the weld cracked on the exhaust manifold. Voila! Another flying manifold! Another discover of another cracked weld from my new piece of shit. An "American designed," "CHINESE manufactured and sourced," horrible piece of engineering and workmanship. Cool, I thought. I get to drive another 50 miles to get this brand new piece of shit fixed. This time, rather than pay out of pocket again for warranty work, I told Tom he could have the unit for a week while he waited for the warrantied parts. Oh, did I fail to mention that after six to seven weeks I still hadn't received the parts for the new chipper next set of blades/hammers that I had to order, because the "brand new" blades on the "brand new" DR POWER, CHINESE MAnUFACTURED and sourced POS wore down over the 6 months I used the unit? After bringing the unit it, I told Karl's to please fix everything while I was out of town. But when I returned, not a creature was stirring at Karl's, not even a mouse. I guess they "forgot to order" any parts for the poor little chipper/shredder. I'd have to wait some more time to get back. Neat! I love waiting. "Not okay!" I said to Karl's over the phone. "Tough shit," they fired back, "there's nothing we can do." So now I'm without my machine for nearly three weeks, waiting on parts fir two significant repairs, and have heard that Little Bo Peep has indeed lost her sheep and has no idea where she's put them. I've heard zero, zilch,nada. No call, no update, no word on when I'll have to drive my last 50 mile round trip ever to Karl's Hardware in Rosamond. It will also be the last DR Power unit to set foot on my family farm. Gone forever in my mind are the brands of both Karl's and DR Power. Don't bother buying anything from either brand. They've lost their way and forgot where they put it. As for DR POWER, you'd be completely out of your mind to buy anything made, designed, or built by these manufacturing clowns. I run manufacturing companies, I've seen these charlatans masking around as "American manufacturers" before. They wrap their brand around Made in the USA, then source and build everything from, name your favorite Chines, Korean, Vietnamese country. Don't waste your time with these knuckleheads. It's just too expensive. read more

My new favorite store. I love the small town feel I get when I walk into the place ( excellent customer service) The staff is super friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable on a lot of matters I would highly recommend this hardware store read more

Not many choices in Rosamond. The previous times I have to say I was shocked by the high prices. Today, however, takes the cake. Went in to pick up a tape measure. Yes, it was absurdly overpriced. But I just recently found out they offer a military discount. GREAT, that will take the sting out a bit. However, when I look at my receipt it reads "Military Discount 5% 0.00" Sorry, but if you claim to offer a discount, then do it. Otherwise, don't bother. I don't appreciate being gouged by astronomical prices AND lied to about a military discount. read more

They had what I needed when no other store in the AV did! Drove from Lancaster to get a potable water hose which they had in a variety of sizes. read more

Came in to rent a Penske truck and there was a miscommunication with our order (Penske's fault). James was incredibly helpful and immediately started calling both them and local suppliers that might carry a 16' truck for us. Really appreciated the help especially since we drove all the way from San Fernando valley read more

The best hardware store in Antelope Valley. And a nice gun store as a bonus... read more

Circuit breaker for a 40-year old house? Got it. Odd-ball wood axe handle? Got it. What ever you need, Karl's has it in the back. Full equipment rental center and nursery on the side. Fantastic and friendly down-home hardware store like they used to be. It's a TruValue so mail-fliers have national specials. I've been going here for 20 years and I've rarely been able to stump them with my "Have you got any of these?" requests :) read more

I called them today and let them know I was willing to drive quite a long distance (from San Fernando Valley) to purchase a firearm. The lady on the phone was not helpful and very rude. Stating "the only way you can find out what we have in stock is to drive out here". Really?! So apparently they have so much business she can't answer if they have one caliber of firearm I am looking for?? Even for a person willing to drive over an hour?? That is just bad business and I will take mine elsewhere. read more

I love this place especially for their firearms department they have so many guns to choose from I bought my revolver 357 there the guys are knowledgeable and very friendly I would give them my business anytime read more

Amazing selection and they put Home Depot and Lowe's to shame. Amazing selection on top of it they have a fun room with ammo too. If you are working on your house on anything they have what you need! read more

Tom and James are the most knowledgeable and nicest people they know a lot about a lot there always willing to help so I don't know what this guys talking about the Karl's is the best hardware around great prices great people read more

If Kark's does not have it, you were probably mistaken as to what you needed to start with, In 20 years of living in Rosamond I have never left Karls without a solution to my situation. And many times purchasing less than I would have at Home Depot. They have what you need, it will fit, and function correctly. I dont know about return policies never needed to return anything they suggested. read more

Best Hardware Store I know of! Every little bolt and nut you may need. Paints, lighting fixtures, gardening... you name it. I have found the employees very friendly and helpful!! It like a blast to my childhood when I worked in my dad's "Edwards Hardware and Variety Store" growing up! read more

I've always gone here for everything i need if it was not for the good people that work there telling me how things are done and showing me what to get my house would be a pile of trash.They also deliver to your house (Love that the most). BEST STORE I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO!!!! Home depot and Lowes got nothing on this store read more

Best sore in the area. I would highly suggest you do business with these people. Honest and fair and proud of their country!

They have the wierd thingamabob you need: Walk into Karl's with a funny screw and someone will show you the nut you need. The service is great -- they know what they're talking about. The rental prices are reasonable. Definitely the place to go when you have questions about something or only need 5 nails to finish a project. My husband loves their gun section. You decide -- 45 minutes in Home Depot or 60 seconds in Karl's. read more

I have been shopping at this business since 1978 I want in yesterday I needed a clamp so I brought one took it home a found out I couldn't use it because it was to small ...so I went in today and wanted a refund I was told that its a tool and they don't give refunds on tools ..this is when the clerk moved some items on the counter that was covering this notice that they don't give refunds on tools ..there is no posted notice anywhere saying this for the customer to see ..so how is a customer to know??? For all my years I have never seen this notice at all remember I have been shopping there since 1978 so I was refused a refund I will never shop there again I'll drive 10 miles then give this business my money so thank you Karl's hardware for taking away my business..and no I never was able to use the clamp it was too small ...also for some reason they the workers feel that they are exempt from having to wear a mask that the governor has mandated for everyone to wear... read more

Carl's hardware is little gem in Rosamond. There are always lots of employees to help you out. Plus they have heavy equipment to rent, a nice nursery, and of course guns and ammo. They do have a slumber department down the street and they will deliver lumber to you. This place is so convenient instead of driving to the big number stores in the valley. This is Steve just signing off. read more

I've been shopping there since 1984. In that time, there's only been six times that I walked in and didn't have what I needed. I've probably been in there hundreds of times. They've got it all. Rental yard and gun store inside as well. Recommend to ask for assistance as you come in as it's packed from floor to ceiling with the north wall layered with multiple sliding panels. Reminds me of an old country store. If I'm not in a hurry, I'll just roam the store looking at the higher storage locations to see what they packed in there. Sometimes slightly higher costs that Lowe's/Home Depot, but it's less expensive for me if I figure the time and gas spent to go get it in Lancaster,as I live in Rosamond. Very helpful staff! read more

Haven't been to local hardware store like this since before Newhall Hardware closed down about 8 years ago. This place has everything and then some. Been here 3 times before I discovered they are a full service firearms and accessory dealer. Love this place! read more

No need to drive to Lancaster or Palmdale for your hardware needs because Karl's has what the big box stores have and it is a lot closer to home. An added bonus is they have superb customer service. read more

we've been shopping at karls for years and have never been disappointed. If you can't find an item, they have this catalogue and will get it for you. One of the last of the true hardware stores. read more
