They only had one model and it had a super stubby tip. No thank you. So this place can be disappointing. But at least its local. The real problem is that some of the men here are openly nasty to women - while NOT being nasty to the male customers. Is every one in the store like that? No. Not at all. But if you're a woman, and you visit this Ace Hardware Crossbay Harware, be prepared. The old timey, bullying, chauvinistic, women-are-stupid attitude is alive and well in some of the men here. Yeah. In 2025.

At another construction snafu, I realized I needed anchors instead of toggle bolts. I called 7 minutes to closing and then ran - they already had the item at the counter - I checked out, they locked the door behind me, and I went home happy (doesn't it suck when you just need one thing to finish the job and the store is closed? not with fulton hardware!) I just feel so taken care of by them :) Yes, you could find items cheaper but when you buy a 1k tv and a $150 mount are you really sweating the $6 vs $10 worth of hardware? it's $4 difference and they make sure it's perfect and no shipping. (also I bought the same toggle bolts and washers and drill bit of a kit online that was 17.99 - all hardware separately from fulton? 14.49. so sometimes it's cheaper!) they cut wood (including ripping plywood sheets!) and have a nifty screw identifier so if you bring any screw they can find the same width - metric or imperial!

I was on Fulton street and walked into this store that I accidentally found while in the area. I walked in requesting a copy of my keys and the owner asked if I wanted him to make only a copy of my keys and why not the FOB, too? I told him that he couldn't do that and that only my building could. The owner reassured me that he had all the equipment in that store and he would be able to CLONE my FOB so I'd have an extra set of keys and a FOB just in case I lost my original ones. He was right! I live in Brooklyn and when I got home even the FOB worked. This place gave me great customer service and really came through. They certainly know what they are doing.

This is a neighborhood mom and pop $.99 store that is still fairly new and people in Howard Beach try to always support mom and pop establishments. Last week 2 women from the neighborhood came in to go shopping. a Chinese lady working there looked at one of the women who she recognized and said "Wow your face got so fat what happened, lol" Well what had happened was the woman has Cancer and her body is swollen from the medication. When they were kind enough to tell the Chinese lady what was wrong with her and why she had gained weight, her reply was "oh well, the older you get the harder that weight will be to lose" Are you kidding me! I went in looking for toothpaste the guy behind the counter had no clue what I was saying and the other guy just out loud answered no!, I'm assuming meaning no we don't have I was looking for. When I asked him where the items were that were similar he pointed down some aisle and walked away like he really couldn't be bothered.

Which is greatly helpful for those that frequented Cedarhurst Paper across the street (the party-place that closed). I ALWAYS find some really pretty or unusual holiday items here too. Much better than the dollar store that used to be just off of 157th and Crossbay. I have also found some unusual things here at a really good deal - like these stacking containers I use for jewelry making. They were almost double the price on Amazon. That says something to me! From brooms to laundry baskets, from video game cables to tools, from party supplies to pet toys and beds, from ornaments to rugs, etc. They offer a bit of everything. Plus they always seem to have the odd hardware item I am looking for and can not find anywhere else. Definitely check this place out!
