Had my first encounter with having to hire a piece of garden equipment from A-Z Hire last week…read more I rang them up for some details, prices etc and got an absolute gentleman on the phone, who took the time to answer my questions. It was just lovely to ring up a business and not get somebody "grunting" down the phone , which sadly is all too common in Dublin these days! Anyhow A-Z Hire is situated just of Walkinstown Ave and the Naas Rd. There is plenty of carparking outside. The guys inside are a joy to deal with, being extremely professional and ya can still have a bit of craic with them. After filling out our form and paying for the equipment, we drove around to the yard to be greeted by 2 young fellows who guided us through how to operate the machine and etc. Two real salt of the earth young lads who know their stuff and liked to have a banter with the customers too. All in all A-Z were great to deal with, very professional. I will give them more business and have no hesitation recommending them!

Long a stable of builders and tradespeople in Dublin and further a field. McQuillans only problem is really its location with lack of parking a big issue. This isn't really their fault and despite the congestion the place is always busy. Athough its not a hardware shope per sé its as good as one. Anyone handy at DIY will know its of the best spots in Dublin for tools and equipement and competitivly priced. Also a good idea if your getting a basic tool kit together. They also have a shop in Blanchardstown store, in the shopping centre, which is open on Sundays.

The newspapers tell me that despite the overabundance of property that was developed during the boom years, people have started hiding their money under their mattresses instead of investing in homes they'll never use and that those who did want to move into a new house are redecorating their houses and flats instead. Enter DIY Home Style. Admittedly the outside of the shop looks a bit like a cheesy American Country Western idea of a saloon, but they've got a decent supply of stuff inside. If you live in the Mary Street area and you want to put a fresh paint of coat on those walls to surround yourself in 'new' surroundings it's not a bad little shop.

The shop is also a magnet for curiousity seekers, drawn as they are to the ornate lettering, window full of odd bits of door and an alluring red interior. Inside the shop there's hardly any room to move between stacks, boards and shelves of fittings.

At first you rant and rave, "how could an apartment have no bathroom outlets!? Why is there a door here if it doesn't even open!? WTFFFFF" Then you rush out of the house in a huff and stumble upon a teeny hardware store and everything is better. That's what happened to us at least. We wandered in one day and chatted with the owner who was so helpful. We got set home with some extension cords and a kind of crowbar to bust that door open. Everything was fine and dandy, though I think we may have paid a premium for shopping at such a little place. But since the owner was there and it obviously is his livelihood, I didn't feel so bad.
