Hayward Tool & Equipment

After driving around to eight different stores who either didn't have the item or didn't have a clue what I was asking for, I came to Hayward Tools and found the exact tool I was looking for. They actually KNEW what I was talking about and sold me the right tool. Both Orchard and Pete's Hardware referred me to Hayward Tools and they were right! There aren't a lot of tool stores around like this anymore. It's worth stopping by to check out their inventory and tool selection. Pros: inventory more

I remember back when Hayward Tool was over on Mission Blvd. He started out like a Post Tool full of junk china tools. He still has a lot of that. The problem is that everyone who enters the store is treated like a shop lifter. The owner, his wife and daughter work there. I brought a power tool in to be fixed one day. After two weeks I came back to see if it was finished. I did not have the receipt on me. So the wife says NO RECEIPT NO TOOL!!! I said if I lost the receipt I can never get my tool back. She replies NO RECEIPT NO TOOL UGH!!! The tool and receipt have my name on them and I had ID. I said give me back my tool or I am walking out of here with a new tool. So she screeches for her husband to come, all 5? 4? of him. He says ?you get out store no come back, no come back.? I told him what I thought his wife was and restated I was leaving with my tool or a his new tool. I left with my tool. Everything is dramatically overpriced and no customer is valued. I had been spending $1000 every year since the beginning. I only hope this depression gets him so he can stay at home and listen to his wife. Pros: excellant tool selection Cons: overpriced with attitude more
