Good local Hardware Store

1973Guppie · 09-29-09, 10:12 PM

There is nothing like a good old fashioned local hardware store with the odds and ends that I sometimes need. Home Depot just doesn't cut it when it comes to odd fasteners, etc.

Hank's hardware back up in Temecula was the shit for this kind of stuff. I am now in Carlsbad and need to find a new place. Can anyone reccomend a good local old school hardware store???

thanks,

Noah

I will check with my Brother- He is in carlsbad. Your right - Hanks IS the shit. I can never get out of that place in under an hour.

There's a fastenal in Calsbad and one in San Marcos. I can usually find what I need locally at the ace in Encinitas. Also, proabably one of the better stores is Marshall industrial hardware off Production in Miramar.

Second for marshalls on miramar, not close to carlsbad but 5 min from me.

Noah,
There's a DeNault's True Value on the corner of Carlsbad Village Drive and the 5 fwy behind Albertsons. They have a descent fastener ilse. Sold the 40 last week

Got a good price though. Now have fundage for the Pigster. How's the new home treatn ya? Has anyone done a Surf-N-Turf Rollcall yet? I'll now be attending without a Landcruiser

Maybe we should start a "Who's going to 2009 SNT?" Thread.
Later

Marshalls for me to. If they don't have it, there's the granddaddy of them all, McMaster Carr. 1 day away, huge inventory without sourcing it back to another supplier, got my last order out to me next day when I ordered at 4:30 pm, very reasonable shipping.

Funny, I wanted something Marshall's didn't have but they said they could order it. I said sure and watched the counter clerk fire up the computer and go to McMaster Carr, she found the item and then marked it up 40% right in front of me. I said thanks but no thanks. The experience kind of rubbed me the wrong way but otherwise they have a great selection.

McMaster is where I got all of my stainless hardware I'm using for my restoversion. Great source!! Good call Mike.

Yeah Marshalls has everything. Ace in Encinitas isn't too bad either...bettter than HD. Ace has a new owner and changed a bunch of stuff since I replaced a bunch of hardware from there but it looks like they carried that over.

Well since you all beat me to Marshall's I will add this tidbit, John of SD Trux is on the next street over to the West.
