“If you have no other reason to go- this *feels* like a hardware store. I know when I say this I am speaking to a very specific subset of people. However, when I was a kid, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store, and I would get a lollypop while he and whomever from behind the counter would wander around looking for an eyebolt or the right shade of caulk. Giulio- who I assume is the owner, is easily 10 years older than my mom, who lives in the assisted living up the street. My mom can't be bothered to go to the chair yoga we're paying for, but Giulio went to work. He's not totally mobile, but he knows his s#!t. Whenever I come in, he or whoever else is behind the counter is happy to chat through my issue and suggest something. It's not a Home Depot- so they may not have what you're looking for every time- but they have a lot of things, and it makes me happy to know my money is staying local. Also, side story: One day during the summer, it's like 90, and I am behind a contractor who's getting a bunch of stuff - lumber, rocks...I don't know- but he's paying for it, and he grabs some water bottles for him and his crew and puts them on the counter. Giulio totals him up and says a number; the guy says, "Oh, don't forget these waters". Giulio says, "The town where I come from in Italy has the best water in the world, and it flows right off the mountain. If my father knew I was charging people for water, he'd come back from the dead and strike me down. Those are free." C'mon. How can you not go here first?”

“Hassett Ace Hardware provides a reliable selection of hardware and home improvement products. The staff is generally helpful and knowledgeable, though at times assistance can be slow during busy periods. Overall, it's a convenient location option for everyday hardware needs. Minus one star only for its parking. It's not super convenient to have a hardware store in downtown, especially when you have large units to move. But overall great store.”

“If you need professional plastic fabricators for a small or large project, this is the place. Raiden fabricated some intricate shelves and covers for me, and they excelled with the outcome being awesome. Great place and great work. Very friendly as well.”

“I went there to recycle used paint (14 cans.) The staff not only offered me a cart, but personally helped me to bring them from parking lot to store. I will definitely do business with them.”

“What a large variety of products to look at and compare in store, not just online! Two employees helped me find unusual items and walked me to the right aisle and bay, very pleasant. Checkout was straightforward. Highly recommend.”

“Don’t understand why the ratings are so low. I dealt with Jube (sorry if I got name wrong) and set up a scenario for him over phone. Long story short, we moved and wouldn’t be able to deliver same day but he stated so long as we are there next day by 7am(730am cutoff), we’d be squared away. Answered all my questions and took time to answer back despite closing hours (7:57pm call in). Appreciate the team here.”
