Perfect store for those of us that live in the North beach area of San Francisco. We do not have big box stores in our area.

Highly recommend. My two sons live in the area and when I visit I’m always fixing something and/or putting something together. This store always has what I need from plumbing to tools to odd size fasteners, nuts & bolts, & screws. A true hardware store.
