“The quality and variety of tools is getting much much better. Get paid pretty good tools now at a decent price. Remember many years back when I went to one of these places when they first came out. Cougar of a cheap quality I used to call knuckle breakers. Not anymore worth shopping there.”
“Staff is very nice. Though I haven't required too much advice while shopping here, the staff seem helpful and knowledgeable. They do have a variety of most products. However, there was one ot two instances where they carried similar parts but not the one or the size I needed.”
“My guy Colin was a legend, he was charismatic and chill. Helped me get some spray paint today, was able to offer suggestions and help with my assignment while maintaining a truly funny and upbeat attitude.”
“It's a great place to shop. They have things you can't find at other hardware stores. And if they don't have it, they can probably help you order it.”
“So glad to have Lunada Bay Hardware in our community! This charming hardware store is jam-packed with everything you need to repair and improve your home. They have a complete line of cleaning supplies and tools you just can't find at big box stores. Not only do they have A ton of garden tools, gloves, and supplies for my gardening efforts but they have ladders and step stools and things that are easy to pick up here and not go out of town to get. If you're looking for something to make your home better then I would suggest going here first, The people here are great and I bet if they don't have what you want they can get it for you! I say shop local and shop here!”
“Was visiting my brother in Long Beach and he needed some items here. It was my 1st time in a H.F. store. It was clean and had good displays of products along w visible prices. I had a good time just looking around and seeing what they carried. I bought a lightning USB C charging cord. Prices were reasonable and competitively priced. Parking lot did feel small. But the cashiers were attentive & friendly. Will use again.”
“Great old school hardware store. Amazing selection of items and services that any apartment dweller, home owner, or business owner need.They make screens, cut glass on site. May not look like much, but a place like this is worth shopping at just for the customer service they offer.”

“I sent some emails asking questions and they were answered very quickly with the information I requested. I loved the quick response which then led me to go to the location to get my 5lb co2 tank filled. The service was fast got in and out in about 15 min there were 2 customers before me. I Will likely come back if I get another tank or when my current one empties in a year or so.”

“Small hardware store with lots of stuff. They didn't stock the mitre box with mitre saw combination that I wanted but did stock the more expensive combination. They knew right where to look for it.”
“I was blown away by the amazing staff. Everyone spoke to me and the woman at the Service Desk was super helpful. Unfortunately, they couldn't make the key for my somewhat exotic car, but they couldn't have been nicer. I will be a regular there now. 5 stars.”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Brian Delmastro as our salesman for our windows, and I must say that it was a truly satisfying experience. Brian was efficient in advising us on the best products for our budget and was excellent in his communication with us. I highly recommend his services without any hesitation.”

“Great store and wonderful service. We purchased an elm wood slab and turned it into an entry way table. They have an awesome selection of woods and we plan to use them for future projects”
“Great prices on decent tools and excellent prices on other things you’ll find a use for. Sometimes the check out line is really slow but it’s still a positive visit overall. This location is very clean and very well organized and stocked.”
“They were helpful and friendly to me when I went in the other day. I was in and out with exactly what I needed in 10 minutes, and the staff went above and beyond. Recommend!”
“I have a project to do checked all around for a paint shop with a Pantone book dating no one had it they did the gentleman's name ismax he took care of me and it's an asset to the company”
“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.
Gear in photo:
• Occidental black canvas bolt bag

I also got an Occidental belt-worn tape clip—it just wasn’t in the photo.
Tools:
• Klein: diagonal cutters, needle-nose pliers, wire strippers, lineman’s pliers, 11-in-1 screwdriver
• Milwaukee: 14-in-1 ratcheting screwdriver, demo flathead, smooth-face 19 oz hammer

“The associate, Shon, is an excellent customer service. I was looking for rare Breakers, and he referred me to Gardena Electric Supply; he mentioned they should have those, but it was Saturday, whichever is challenging to find open stores. However, they did have them, thanks to that dudes. I recommend this place!”
“If you don't ask someone for help me walk in then you're on your own because the people on the floor are racing past because they don't want you to ask them anything!”
“Helpful employees at the store, ample inventory and good selection, parking lot and street parking available. Stopped by to get some putty, paint, small brush and spatula to fix a small messed up on a set wall”

“Quality service. They helped me with port adapters. There are so many variables I was confused at first. Jacob took the time to help me understand the product and its application. Overall, it was a great experience and I recommend this place to anyone looking to build a car.”
“A visit to this store is like going back in time, when you enter a privately-owned business and the owner smiles and acknowledges you, and proceeds to offer you a nationally-recognized quality product at 1/2 to 1/3 the price of big stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, and Sherwin Williams.
I expected a watered-down product involving several coats of paint. No, it was the real deal: a thick, one-coat, nationally-recognized brand of paint that covered the job in one coat...at an unimaginably low price.
For years, I have been wary of this store's sidewalk sign, "One gallon of paint for $10." After giving this store one try, I will NEVER, N-E-V-E-R purchase paint anywhere else.”
“I have been buying paints here and the store in Lawndale. They have top brands, and they manufacture their own. Their pricing is the best. Factually, the Lawndale store is less.”
“Outstanding Customer service ,and affordable prices , I will use my refund to buy from them a sump pump to be ready for the rain and getting the water from basement.”

“Mrs Brenda William FX. is the best forex trader and I highly recommend her because her winning rate is 90% guaranteed $9,774 weekly profits with a $1000 capital. I trust and believe in her trading skills in forex and crypto trading. Contact her”
“You can go anywhere for home improvement like Home Depot, or Ace, or Lowe's here.
But, when my son and I visited this Lowe's yesterday we were pleasantly surprised by how friendly, courteous, and helpful the staff were. Place was clean and nigh immaculate.
Especially Brenda. Sensing my son and I were looking for something specific, she stopped pruning and walked over to us. And, really, we weren't even that close this was a good 20-30 yards away... anyway, she walked over to assist.
Sorry Home Depot, I won't be returning ... I'm a Lowe's guy now.”
“Great customer service. Huero was closing up for the day when I showed up, but he re-opened so I can get what I needed. That's reason enough for me to come back on top of the amount of great products available!”
