He will lie and tell you they don't carry things you've bought there dozens of times before because he has no idea what you're talking about and doesn't care. They have amazing prices on some things and are full MSRP on others so shopping here is a total crapshoot. Generally speaking, commodity items like conduit fittings will be a bargain. Fancier things, like AFCI breakers, will be more expensive than Home Depot and they probably won't pull the right ones even if you show them the catalog page with all the numbers they could possibly need to know because they cannot read English any better than they speak it. They'll give you one price up front and then when they go to ring it up they'll realize they were wrong and give you a completely different--always much, much higher--price. It's rarely worth the frustration to drive out there unless you're already going out to buy fentanyl from one of the bums in front of the Amazon warehouse.

Every time I walk in, someone immediately asks if I need help, and the staff are genuinely eager to assist. The owner has personally helped me troubleshoot a few home issues and walked me through how to properly install parts once I got home- that kind of service is rare and incredibly appreciated. Prices are fair for the area, especially considering the convenience and the level of customer support you get. Overall, a fantastic local hardware store that makes every visit easy and stress-free. Highly recommend.

At Center, you don't have to be the expert or an experienced tradesman, if you can put your problem into words, they can find a solution. I had the job to try to put together a beverage carbonation and dispensing system for an upcoming event, using a box of old mismatched regulators, gauges and valves. Tino, the plumbing expert, wasn't phased at all. Tino had me put my various parts onto the cart and went to work, pulling down all the fittings, hoses, gaskets and other pieces I needed. He wheeled the cart between different departments educating me on what sizes and types went with each other. Creating new new ways to use the parts, when needed. I am not new to plumbing projects, but without Tino's expert help, I would not have been able to figure out what I needed and pull off this project. When I got home my system came together without a hitch, and everyone at the event got to benefit from Tino and his creative expertise The entire time Tino was helping me also kept my impatient little dog happy with pets, treats and kind words. Shadow normally gets very anxious after more than 5 minutes in a store, but this time at Center, she not only had a good time, but also found a new friend.

My impression is that the majority of their business comes from maintaining blades and tools for larger commercial clients. But they are friendly and accommodating to individuals with, say, just a single blade that needs sharpening. The employees are experts at things that cut. Tablesaw blades, bandsaw blades, router and shaper bits. They sell a range of high-quality tools in each category. On their recommendation, I purchased a brand of tablesaw blade I wasn't familiar with, but which was less expensive that what I originally intended to purchase. It's proved to be one of the best blades I own. They sharpen and re-weld bandsaw blades. They acoustically clean, repair and resharpen tablesaw blades (and I assume circular saw blades also). When I take my blades in, the lady at the desk inspects each tooth and points out broken carbide that needs replacing, if any, and you get a quick quote for making the blade like new. It is always amazingly reasonable. A day or two later you have a like-new blade. If you use quality blades and need them rapidly and accurately restored, Sartor is the place. They also sell wax for saw surfaces, cleaning agents, etc. and can special order just about anything.

I found corona hedge clippers at a yard sale that were newish looking but the blades were dull. This motivated me to look around for a good place to get all 3 tools sharpened. The great reviews led me to Sartor-Quality Saw Works. I live down the coast and so it's a little drive to get there. Because the tools were all forged steel the guys said they could sharpen them. I asked them how much and they said about $$ for each (I won't say how much, but prices these days always seem high to me). They said they'd call me in about a week. Anyway, they called me I went in and I paid the $$. The one guy that was there was so easy to talk to, so we chatted for a while about quality steel tools vs the cheap ones that the box hardware stores sell (they have heat-tempered cutting edges that can't hold an edge when sharpened). When I got home I used them on a couple of whispy bushes I had in the front yard. My unsharpened clippers would only bend them. I usually had to use regular scissors to cut them. My sharpened tools cut them easily. It is such a joy to use these hand tools again. Thank you again Sartor-Quality Saw Works. Those $$ were totally well spent and I have already told neighbors that the quality of their service is like a lost art.
