I have always had a great experience with this Hardware Store. While Ace is a great place to shop,…read morethis store goes over and far beyond to assist their customers. I've had them search other stores to help me locate a particular item that was not available here. Their customer service is above all the Big Box Stores. As for those hard to find and get items, start here... Reasonable Prices, awesome service, friendly staff...Why shop anywhere else ???

So, after many years my electric stapler failed in the middle of a job…read more I have been a loyal Home Depot customer several decades. I am no rookie, so I looked up a replacement stapler and store shows 3 in stock. I drive the 25 miles to my local store to buy more insulation rolls and a new staple gun. Can't find the gun in the listed location so I ask one of the help to find it. The person says "yes we show 3 and I will get one for you." Why wasn't it restocked on the shelf? So I go get the insulation and it is still in the isle not unpacked or restocked either. Mind you, it is sitting in the isleway still banded and shrink wrapped. I cut the banding and shrink wrap and get the insulation lodes on the cart to return to the tool section and get the tool. Oops, the box does not contain the tool but something else. No other options possible except an electric stapler kit at twice the price. Ok, I buy it and it is dead on arrival when I try it at home. If management reads this, the moral to the story is instead of the staff standing around, get them to restock the empty shelves in a timely manner so the isles are clear and mistakes in inventory are discovered timely. I need up getting the stapler at a local Ace hardware that was actually closer to my home.

Not sure whats going on with Home Depot. Product selection is very limited except for specific…read morecommon items. They have a whole row of light bulbs and only carry FEIT vs Philips in which I needed. I find they are only supporting one brand in alot of supplies needed except paint. Never seem to have a good selection in many items. I guess will shop alternative stores/or Amazon in the future to save on a 30 mile drive only to not have products needed. Very disappointed .

This is more like an Ace Hardware to me. It is clean, and well stocked. The staff are friendly,…read morealthough not very knowledgeable regarding livestock needs.

What a great store! I was in the area for work and stopped in on a whim, but if I had this store…read morewhere I live, I'd definitely be there often! A little bit of everything for your farm, homestead or garden. There were so many things I wanted to go home with, but kept it minimal. I was greeted politely upon entering and the cashier was super friendly, asking for advice on gardening... to the point that she took notes on my recommendations. I don't live in the area, so I'm not sure how their prices compared to averages for Bend, but coming from Alaska, the prices were really good. I'd definitely go back and have even looked for other Wilco stores during my travels.

Thank you to Aidan! He went above and beyond. The woman at the check-out was kind and attentive,…read moretoo. She asked him to help me as I was checking out. Not only did he do that... but when I mentioned I wanted 10 more bags of soil and 5 more of mulch... and would come back for them later... he took it on himself to go and get all 15 bags in 2 deliveries and to help me load my car. He radioed for help 3 times as the soil was placed high. When most folks had gone home for the night, he made sure to get me the soil and searched for it on a couple of trips. Then he apologized it took so long. Really, it wasn't long, at all. I thanked him and he told me it wasn't even his department. He works in flooring. As I drove away, I saw him helping another family in the gardening section. Kindness abounds. Love Lowes. I continually have positive experiences with them and their team and it made my night.

Went back to store to get additional valve as instructed by Lowe's technician only to be told this wasn't needed. Associate was completely rude and condescending to me, blaming me for this mishap. When I asked to reschedule for another try, she continued with her bad attitude. She implied it was no big deal to get them out to my house again and is easy. I asked her to do it right then while I was there. Turns out it will be another week. Pissed I bought the range at Lowe's. Will not be shopping there again.

People are usually very picky. However, I am a traveling IT person requires to have tools for…read moreconstruction sites as Field Network Systems Engineer I appreciate the tools and prices. The Hercules line ups are my favorite as its comparable to DeWalt tools. The Beuer tools is like the Milwaukee brand. They have a ton of other stuff. The only thing is I like to have more power for my tools. I do have a couple of their impact guns and they're wonderful there. Electric powered one is perfect for changing out car, tires and axles and cars I took one off of a truck. The electric one has a good torque. It's at least 1000. I have no problem with that one I own that thing and it works wonderful. It is a little heavy but it does the job real well.. if you're looking to buy snap on the style tools, they do have a nicer line which is their icons. Because of the amount of construction work that I do sometimes I have to eat it on a tool so I usually stick to the Pittsburgh ones, but their Pittsburgh line also has a good lifetime warranty so I've actually returned a couple things and I got a brand new one so Harbor freight does honor the warranties really well Especially love the warranty on the Hercules lineup because it also warranties your batteries for three years and your tools for five years. They do have that ITC membership that pays for itself you get the coupons and then other little free beads but the benefit what I use it most for it attracts all your purchases online with no problem. You create an account it always finds your stuff you're in the system for everything that you buy so much more useful. It's worth like the 50 bucks or whatever.. now the store itself they do keep everything in stock as possible. I go through probably 80 to 100 different stores all through California, Nevada, Utah , New Mexico Arizona, Texas, and the one here in Bend. If you're looking for a good tool set instead of spending gobs of money start here there's nothing wrong with any other tools here because they have tools according to your budget you can't say the same thing to another hardware store like Home Depot or Lowe's there stuff already starts up as much higher prices. Ace Hardware is another good place to buy tools except when you're on a budget or you lost a specific socket it's much easier to buy a set from Harbor freight than it is to buy a single one at any of the other stores. Most of the stores usually have a few employees in there. It's to keep the costs down for the customers when you have too many employees in the store that drives the cost of tools up and for some of you crying about things in the store keep in mind you're not paying any sales tax You go to anyone of the other stores outside of Oregon your paying a sales tax specifically California sales tax can be really expensive and I know this because I also live in Los Angeles so when I come up here to relax, I appreciate going into this harbor freight because my father-in-law has a bunch of their tools as well.,I think the rest of you are being too picky and sometimes you have to remember things are on high demand. Be patient. Let's be honest none of the stuff here is manufactured here in United States so if they're missing something be patient because it's coming off a boat, but savings gets passed down to us. Lastly, for the staff here everybody I've talked to at least it's been knowledgeable and friendly. They're not Home Depot workers for most of them are retirees knowing about the trade. Some of these are just kids in college so I'll give them a break. I work a specific trade on the field. I wear construction hat, best gloves, and construction shoes and I'm not sitting in front of a desk all day I'm out the field with a sledgehammer, running cable tagging lines, and more. Y'all have a wonderful day.
