I agree totally with the previous reviewer from the USA but add that there are great female…read moreowners/staff there too as well as the blokes. I have been buying hardware items here for 20 years and its great and they have everything I want, when I want it too. A good review on True Local today too.

I love hardware stores like this. Neighborhood-y, small aisles packed to the brim with everything…read moreyou can imagine but probably can't see, and privately owned (this one seemingly by a pleasant older couple who have probably known one another since they were kids). It's the kind of place where you go in and, rather than try to find stuff yourself, ask the kind gentleman for your items and he'll show you around.

i was trying to get a particular item that seemed to be special order only. A girl called Edie…read morehelped me and it seemed difficult to find this in the state. she then found one of the item only at Fairfield, called them to confirm it was there and has had it shipped to port melb for me to pick up next week. Her helpfulness, demeanour and overall customer service was fantastic and i am so thankful to her. Thanks Rohan

My local Bunnings…read more Despite renting, there's always some little thing that needs done. Kids marked up the wall, want to get a few hooks to hang a picture... always something. For being one of the smaller Bunnings, they do have pretty much everything. I also find their customer service seems to be a little better too. The staff are quite knowledgable, and there seems to always be someone around. If you're in the area and need some hardware... :)

I've been in here twice to get keys cut, which they kindly delivered immediately. I waited no…read morelonger than 3 minutes, long enough to walk around the shop and have a look at the supplies. I should point out quick smart that I have almost zero hardware knowledge. I know the difference between a nut and a bolt, I understand the relationship between a screw and a screwdriver, and I even recognise the function of the all-too-often-forgotten washer. Pliers, hammers, wrenches...got it, got it, got it. But the rest of it, I can't even name the rest of it, let alone imagine in what situation they might be used. Anyway, this store is packed to the rafters with stuff I don't recognise, fascinating things of stone and wood. I imagine one could build a palace if they just knew how to utilise all those little bits and bobs, and massive, scary looking machines. it would be the coolest thing to know what I was doing in a shop like this, but as it was, it was pretty cool just to be pick up a few items and ponder it's purpose.

I went there to get some cleaning supplies after the cleaners I hired didn't do a complete job…read more They have a decent range of cleaning supplies at pretty reasonable prices. The staff was very helpful when I asked for the right product for my needs.
