“We have used KMD for multiple projects. They have machined new cylinder rods and barrels. Created custom seal kits that we can stock in our shop. They always stand by their work. I couldn't recommend Albert and his team more.”
“Got a few end mills and strong double sided tape here for a project. The guys are all super nice and helpful and the price is reasonable. So glad to have this place in the area”
“This store sells hardware and tools at very good price. I have come here a few times to buy small tools, paint brushes and tray, super glue etc. Employees are friendly and polite, they would greet you when you walk in and out.”
“Had the opportunity of visiting Home Depot to obtain moving supplies to accommodate a move from one apartment to the next. They had everything we need. Sturdy boxes and plastic bins, Bubble wrap of varying sizes, old towels and sponges, foam wrappers, different size permanent markers, printed labels, packing paper, box cutter, heavy-duty packing tape and dispensers, scissors and so much more to facilitate a move! We ended up with 61 boxes plus a couple suitcases. Reasonably priced items, all located in the packing aisle so they were easy to locate. And more importantly, we could get extra items delivered quickly when we realized we had not purchased enough boxes. Staff was friendly and helpful; making recommendations about the suitability of boxes etc. A good experience at a highly stressful time.”

Ace gave retailers a sneak peek at the concept during its recent Chicago convention. While a few stores will debut the new look later this year, the full rollout begins in January.
