Hardware Stores in Compton, CA

“I got hooked up with an Occidental belt and pouches. I brought my gear into the store so that Edwin and I could fill in the gaps in my current tool belt. I ended up keeping my Klein 2.5” lineman’s pouch, an Atlas 46 hammer holder, and an Atlas 46 drill holster. Everything else, I swapped. I’m a large dude with intentions to lose weight, so buying a pricey leather belt online would’ve been riskier than making the drive out to see them in person.

There’s an armed guard outside the store, which was comforting. The staff was friendly, 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to square away their kit. I live in North County San Diego, so thirty bucks worth of gas gave me peace of mind knowing I got to try on every piece of gear before buying it.

Keep in mind that only a portion of the store’s back wall is dedicated to tool bags; most of the space is devoted to selling all things Milwaukee, Makita, and Klein. The store itself is about the size of a CVS pharmacy, but every square foot oozes quality. The checkout area, usually reserved for bubble gum, featured a classy bucket filled with Makita bit holders and Milwaukee impact-rated sockets. It’s like a bourgeois gun store for screwdrivers.

“I have bought lots of foam from here for hotel and restaurant projects. They run a huge operation, very efficient, great customer service and always precise and ontime. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable...they have so many types of foam, they guide you when you need it. They can do any complex project, have the best machinery and the prices are great. They are the only place to buy foam for larger projects. Highly recommend them!”
