Harbor Freight Tools is a private retail chain that has locations across the U.S. It…read moresells products such as power tools, hand tools, tool boxes, hardware, painting supplies, generators, etcetera. I visited this particular Harbor Freight Tools store in Ross Township, PA. As I walked around the store, no employee greeted me. I could not find a specific product, so my husband asked the cashier, and she pointed and told us roughly where to walk. I noticed that Harbor Freight Tools sells many in-house brands that competing retailers do not sell. Their website lists brands such as Bauer, Doyle, Franklin, Hercules, Icon, Pittsburgh, Predator, Vanguard, Warrior, and many others. I chose four products to purchase. At the checkout counter, the cashier immediately greeted me, scanned my products, signed me up for the store's membership program, processed my payment, and thanked me. Compared to Home Depot's prices for similar products, my package of sand paper here cost slightly more, my package of screwdrivers cost significantly less, my paint brush cost slightly less, and my gloves cost significantly less. Furthermore, the membership program allowed me to select one free product from a table, and I chose a pair of $2 gloves to receive for free. I have not yet used all of these products, but they appear to be a good quality. I am not sure yet how they compare to competing retailers' big-name brands, but Harbor Freight Tools's website says that the quality is similar and the prices are lower because they cut out the middleman. The store's policy allows returns and exchanges within 90 days, and tools have a lifetime warranty.

The friend mentioned Salik's and said, while it doesn't have everything, they have enough to make it worthwhile going there. Parking was easy - right in front of the store. Nice to see someone right behind a counter asking if they can help you. Try getting that at Home Depot or Lowe's. The price for the doorknob was right and the product worked out just fine. Went back for extra keys - a little more pricey than the aforementioned big box stores. But to save having to drive around the city for just one thing? Priceless! Go to Salik's if you're in the East End and want to support a local business instead of a big box.

VERY disappointed with this company. A friend referred me to the company based on him purchasing…read morematerials from them. He told me they do installs also. I began communicating with them 6/22/26. There were emails back and forth several times, ironing out the details of the materials and work I wanted to have done. I thought it was odd that no one was calling me to discuss the details or to set up an appointment to come to my home to get exact details themselves. I got my first phone call from the company on 7/7/26. The woman I spoke with was very friendly and seemed to be very genuine. I explained I would be on vacation should see reach out and me not respond. She explained that their installers are a third party company and had to work with them to get the quote, but said she had all the information she now needed to get that. I was given the impression that I would have the quote to me by the time I returned from vacation. I did not. A month has now passed since my initial contact with the company. I emailed them 7/27/26 asking about the quote, and the response I received was that they were still waiting on the 3rd party (installers) and the person they were waiting on was on vacation and wouldn't be back for another 2 weeks. At that point I was sure, as I had suspected earlier, that I was being strung along the whole time. I have no respect for people/companies that operate on lies. Just be honest with customers and tell them you don't want the job or you are too busy to get to it. Total disrespect. Everyone's time is valuable. I truly don't know how people can do this to people. Friends that wanted similar work done were waiting to see how things went with mine. I have already begun sharing my experience with those people and others and I will continue to do so. I do NOT recommend this company in any capacity.

Thank goodness I called Arnold Plumbing, who quoted $1600 to $1900. Greg Jr and Rob came the next day and in 5 hours had repaired/replaced the line.
