I've been shopping at East Sac Hardware for years, I'd much rather go there than to a big-box home store. The older staff know what they're talking about, unlike at the big-box stores where most of the employees don't have a clue. Several of these folks at East Sac I've been dealing with for years and years, they always impress me with their knowledge and in my experience they're always friendly and helpful. I've bought everything from screws and painter's tape all the way up to a drill press at East Sac, and while it's possible to find lower prices at the big chain stores I've never had this kind of service and useful advice at the big places. If you're a home repair expert then maybe you don't need such help, but I sure do, and I appreciate getting it at East Sacramento Hardware.
