I love hardware stores! I always feel like I'm adventuring into a world I don't quite understand,…read moreAlso, confession time, I always think anyone who sees me in there will think, "That's a savvy chick, she knows her tools". As it happens I do know a few tools, but only the human kind unfortunately. I wander in here maybe once a year, if I need something hardware-y like compressed air or a long weight (that's a hardware joke people!) The staff are helpful and friendly. My last visit was a quest for Tarzan's Grip to fix a wayward heel, and suddenly realised I didn't even know if that was the best product. So I asked the nice man which glue he thought would be best for shoes and he said," I was just talking about that with my mate", grabbed a tube of something and guess what? It worked.

Great store!

Not only did someone stop to help me just moments after I walked in the door, but they were able to give me multiple ways in which to fix and finally finish my pesky project (all of which have worked). The people there were knowledgeable and extremely nice- a wonderful difference from the Bunnings at Rose Bay!

Not only is there space to exercise by walking around, there's a picture page with Bluey characters to find throughout the store. There's also a small play area next to the Hardware Cafe where the flat whites and long blacks are tasty.

My first experience there was a tad confusing - I only wanted some small handheld lights for a light box, and was under the impression that I'd need to build it myself. After explaining my predicament to one of the staff member, an older man, who looked like the best person to ask about electrical lighting, I was told to buy some parts here, and or go to a lighting shop for a pre-made alternative. After some further poking around the store, I found exactly what I needed, with no guidance from any further staff members. At checkout the staff we're less than impressed, and didn't engage with their customers further than just taking their money. It's only a hardware store, but some level of good customer service should still be expected.

I came to this hardware needing some specialised help, and bingo I received it…read more Problem: Adhesives previously brought at a chain hardware store meant that some of the art in my home kept falling off the walls. Frustrating, noisy and tiny bits of paints was chipping away, hence the need to re-paint those affected areas. Solution: Came here and was greeted courteously, and was recommended the right nail hooks and hammer to nail into the back of my artworks and onto the walls of my house, without wrecking the walls. Awesome: they check whether you have free reign (you own your joint) or are you a tenant? Then they come up with appropriate solutions. Excellent service, and the prices are great. Result: My artworks have not fallen down for at least a few weeks, not once. They're secure. The product knowledge here is top notch. Rare for hardware stores. My artworks are no longer falling down. Highly recommended, and I believe they also deliver too.

Truth be told, I'm a little intimidated. But when my trusty instant-read meat thermometer ran out of battery and I opened it up to see some type I had never heard of, I was on mission. I stopped at every chemist, grocer, and office supply store between Central and Mitre10 Pitt St and no one knew what I was looking for. Even eBay couldn't help me out. With minimal expectations, I swallowed my fears and stepped inside Mitre10. Rather than asking me what the heck I was doing in a DIY shop, I was instantly met with a friendly hello and an offer of help. I mentioned the battery I was looking for and she LOOKED IT UP. Apparently there's a battery compatibility book and it turns out that my rare battery was equivalent to a very common one that I could have purchased at any of the other stores I had been to if someone had simply looked it up. I've been back to this location a couple of times since and the staff are always happy to provide guidance and really aren't so scary after all.

Came in here looking for a replacement plumping part, and while it does have a massive range, it does make it hard to know where to find what your looking for even if you're in the right section. I'm convinced that you'll find a pot of gold before you'll find a staff member willing to help you. After about twenty minutes of searching we found one of Bunnings team members. This team member didn't look at us and barely even knowledged our existence, his only "helpful" advice was to tell us that they didn't have what we were looking for and for him that was it, end of conversation.
