Hertel did a wonderful job with our home's plumbing renovations. They replaced galvanized pipes…read morewith copper and replaced water tank, and in the process of these repairs, they found other issues which they alerted us to, and fixed them right away. We also hired them to renovate our HVAC system. They were patient with us as we spent a great deal of time looking into various options in terms of energy and cost. The only small issue is that it is sometimes hard to get a hold of a plumber to answer questions, and you are often relaying messages through a receptionist.

However I have found myself here twice in the past week. The first time was to try to find pruners that can be used standing. While we were not able to find those, sadly, the owner (I think) and his employee went out of their way to see how they could help me. Then, a few days later, I find myself on a mission to find a certain kind of plant food. I had already checked at Home Depot while buying bird seed, but they had not had it come in for over a year and were not sure when it was coming in. I called Walmart, Loews, and two garden stores in the area too. They did not have any in stock either. On a whim I stopped in here again, asked the employee if they had it, he took me to the aisle and there it was!! I scooped up the two boxes they had. This store looks small from the outside, but it is quite large once inside. It is next to and connected to the Schuele Paint Store, more or else on the corner of Summer and Main. Rather than travel to the suburbs, I will go here first now, they are helpful, pleasant, local and easy to get to.

They took my mower in, asked me what I wanted done, and said they would call when ready. I expected to wait days. In just about 3 hours, they called and said it was ready. The charge was very reasonable. I would recommend this business to anyone who needs small engine repair.

My mom told him what we were there for & instead of him directing us on where to go, he went & grabbed what he thought we meant & brought it to us.

If you don't have simple knowledge of tools you should not be in charge of a store that sells tools. Back today and guess what completely WOKE. Won't be back to this location ever for anything.

My fiancé & I usually only come here when something is on sale…read more This time, it was Tarps. Unfortunately, they sold out because it was such a great deal. Every time I come here , I find the cutest little things ,that I end up spending so much money on. They have good things on clearance all the time, or just things on sale in big bins in the front of the store. They have a good selection of tools, and at home necessities (or just "wants") for the size of store they are. It's pretty small ,especially when compared to Home Depot, but, it has things you need in a hurry. You'll have to go in & check it out yourself. It's too hard for me to explain everything they have, I mostly pay attention to the fun stuff, that I want. Lol

I've picked up on some lingo over the years watching the tool-time sitcom, and I've stocked my tool box with orange juice and vodka, in case there's an emergency at home. You know the kind I'm talkin about? With that being drunk, I mean said, this smaller size hardware store didn't frighten me. I was able to find a few items rather quickly without having to walk miles of aisles, as I was not looking for a workout. Just some tools and gadgets. I found some nifty bungee cords set for $3.99, an air pump for my bike tires for $7.99 and oil lubricant for my bike chain and some squeaky window and doors in my house for $3.99. I even found - guess what? A philips end with a shank. Doesn't that sound fancy? How do you like that, I'm showing off now. What I couldn't find I asked the cashier and he pointed me in the right direction. I like it when there are actual people around to ask for where an item is or suggest what I might prefer or need for the type of mechanical, plumbing or electrical issue that's causing some mental issue. Like stress. Like low self esteem. Because I hate having home problems that I cannot fix myself or understand what the heck is going on. And I dread home problems which will be costing me plenty to get a professional over to fix. But this was a rather therapeutic experience for me taking my hardware phobia into account. I'll be back to shopping here again. but truly, a screwdriver to me is made of orange juice, vodka
