Can't say enough about Hardwick's. If you haven't been there then you just don't get it.
Best tool selection bar none: bigboxstores, internet, or any other hardware store; Anywhere USA and I've lived in 9 states. No joke.
Best hardware, unreal tool selection. Excellent salespeople all knowledgeable and helpful. With patience too; I've listened to them trying to help num-nuts who can't talk or explain what they want and the salespeople at Hardwick's smile through it all trying their best.
But the tool selection: Wow! is all I can say. And excellent prices to boot.
Run; Don't walk.
