Girls will not really get it but there's something amazing about being surrounded with power tools…read more It brings out the creative side of guys. They may not start building their own tables or a wrap-around porch but it is still fascinating even if all we do is fantasize about all the furniture we can build. Handyman has rows and rows of tools and parts that anyone needs for their homes or their creative projects. Whether it's to repair a leak in the faucet or a squeaky hinge or if you want tiki torches for your garden. What's really good about this place is that the personnel that they assign to each section really knows their products. They know which ones you need and will point you to the right direction. And they're not after selling you the most expensive products. They tell you which ones best suit your needs and will last longer even if it's cheaper than the one you originally set your eyes on. It's always a pleasure being assisted by salespeople who knows what they're doing and are not always after profits. I think more than the extensive selection of products, the attitude of their personnel is their more important asset.

Ace Hardware is a pretty complete, robust store that's sure to fulfill all of your hardware and…read morehousehold needs. There's a little bit of everything here, from lights, bathroom fixtures, plumbing door handles, to the odder finds like seeds to plant a garden or a cover for your steering wheel. Being among 4 of the boys in our crop of 5 (it figures that the only girl is the youngest, too), I've had to go shopping here to help out my dad fix a number of household complications, like leaky pipes and broken lights. Apart from repairing our home, Ace Hardware has been part of the effort to make it better, in the form of hooks for our chargers to hang in and tents for when we camp out. The pricing is alright - more expensive than the roadside hardware stores, but cheaper than True Value, which makes Ace Hardware a stable brand.

At present we are only in the planning stages of building our PI vacation home…read more Occasional visits to one of the Wilson Depot stores in Laguna near Cavinti proved to me their great customer service. Armed just with a floor plan sketch and measurements for doors and windows I was able, with the help of sales people on the floor, to find and identify all the windows and doors for our soon to be built home. I felt no undue pressure or the addition of the dreaded "foreigner tax" many of us expatriates experience. True professionals. Once started we intend to return for plumbing and lighting fixtures. Salamut po to all the helpful employees.

This review is for the Wilcon located at 1231 Chino Roces Ave, Makati, Metro Manila…read more I would have loved to add their other location, but it is very disappointing to be the first to write a review, and it never gets posted. Hence, I just added my review to this location. I was referred to Wilcon by my contactor Madrigalejos Construction Services. Wilcon was one of the two places that Joseph Madrigalejos referred me to for bathroom and kitchen fixtures. I dealt with Adrian, who represents Grohe and Joseph, who represents Kohler. It took me a long time to decide what bathroom fixtures I wanted to purchase since the Grohe prices were much higher than the other brands. I ended up purchasing Grohe, instead of Kohler, only because Adrian was able to find something in stock that wasn't even being displayed, which was less than what was on display. The following week, it was time to change the kitchen faucet. Grohe had something on display, but the store didn't have it in stock. Adrian contacted me once they had it in stock. It was very convenient to just find Adrian because he is usually on the first floor by Grohe's display. He and another employee showed me what was within the box I ordered. Then, a different employee carried the item to the cashier. I was in and out within 15 minutes. I admire Adrian's customer service. He'll definitely be someone I'll be looking for if ever I need additional fixtures.
