“This is one of my favorite stores in the city. Anytime I have a question about a project, I’ve always found a staff member who can point me in the right direction with good advice on which products to use.”
“Simply the best! I locked myself out and they came to help minutes before closing, and later installed a new code lock so I won’t lock myself out again. Always helpful and friendly for any hardware store needs as well. Cannot recommend Wilensky enough!”
“I've purchased various items at this store. It's nice to have a local hardware store that's easy to get to, has what I need and the owner is right there with the answer to my questions.”
“This is one of my favorite stores of all time so on a personal note I'm in a good mood when I walk in here to begin with. Think of Harbor Freight as the "affordable alternative" to that Depot chain some are familiar with. The deals that they have at this store never cease to amaze me and I find that I rarely can walk out of the store without purchasing something that I may or may not even need because I just don't have it. Can you get things here that you can get at other stores? Absolutely. Are you going to be these prices? A snowball's chance in hell is greater than you finding a better deal somewhere else. This, you can take to the BANK, and considering all the savings, you actually WILL!”
“Absolutely love it here. The employees are tremendous! I am always greeted with a welcome and promptly assisted when needed. A wonderful alternative to the other hardware stores nearby.”
“I go here at least once a month for yrs, now . Nice people excellent service, excellent products. Sometimes I go just to see a happy face 😊😊”
“The staff here were super helpful and knowledgeable. They were also great with helping me pack up all of the springtime plants I bought in order to safely take them home on the 57 bus.”
“This hardware store takes me back in time; the sound of creaking hardwood floors, faint talks of DIY jobs or repairs, and always the cool little finds that blend nostalgia and present day.
The people were helpful and friendly and they seem to have everything you need!”
“After going to Home Depot and having no luck I went to Ace Hardware no luck, went to Lowes and they gave me the drain cap I needed, but it was to small and he measured the one I brought with me from my basement so my last shot I decided to take a ride to Swarthmore
Hardware store I was able to buy the right size love this store”
“Fairmount Hardware is a neighborhood institution, with good reason. Dave, the owner, goes out of his way to help non-professionals with their projects, large and small. He wired a lamp for me, he also cut glass to put in a frame I had, saving me the expense of having a framer do it.
I think he tries to impart to the young people he hires to work in the hardware store as much of his wisdom as possible. Yesterday, he instructed a young trainee as to how to remove a bit of rust on a porcelain plaque I brought in.
Today, another trainee made a great suggestion as to how I might attach the plaque to a Target basket with wingbolt nuts and butterfly screws, rather than the furniture nails I’d bought the day before.
The clerk at the cash register gave me a credit for the unused furniture nails I had bought the day before and deducted the cost of the two wingbolt nut and screws —you cannot get better service than that anywhere.
Hail Dave and his team!”
“I’m spoiled by the convenience and great personal service provided by Steve at Jacob Low Hardware. Just this week I popped in twice and quickly got exactly what I needed to complete my little projects. This local business is a real gem!”
“Oh this place has anything you need for your home repairs .. decor.. plus more. It has been a staple in my neighborhood for years.. if you're every looking for something hard to find just give Ritner hardware a call.. they rarely disappoint..”
“Other than not being able to get to me until the end of the day when my text msgs kept pushing back the arrival time, I understand that the window of arrival being 8:00-5:00 that’s what can happen. Kenneth was polite, explained what he was doing as he was doing it and made sure the error code did not come up again.”
“Hills hardware is more than a hardware store. Leno and Heather create a universal atmosphere. No matter if your a carpenter with 40years experience or a person looking to hang some picture frames in your home. They are quick with the necessary supplies and a helpful tip if you need it; to get the job done proper. You need something not in the store they can get it in on the next shipment. I stop here before anywhere to get my supplies. Feels like home. Most certainly go check them out.”
“To start- I live in west philly. I drive to this hardware store because they are so sweet and accommodating every time I go. They try to speak to people who only speak Spanish in Spanish. Just all around great hardware store that reminds me of the right small town feel. I order my HVAC filters here, I get my plumbing supplies here. Support small hardware stores!!!!!”
“This place has been here for as long as can remember. This is a place weekend workers can get that extra help we need last time he got out pencil made a diagram. Try that at that at big stores. If you like helping the little shops come here”
“I needed some bubble wrap for packing before moving, and though he doesn’t sell these at his store, Cohen was happy to give away some bubble wrap he had in his store storage room. A kind person and great store for your hardware needs!”
“Chris made the process of getting started super easy. Had Charles and Javi set everything up at the house. They were both super friendly and respectful. Answered all questions we had and did a wonderful job! Highly recommend◡̈”
“Once again we had fantastic service from one of the owners of 10th Street Hardware. This time it was Steve DeShong. He spent a goodly amount of time on Saturday trying to figure out how to fix a broken soap dispenser (purchased elsewhere) we had brought in. Even though he couldn't get it to work (and we ended up buying a new one from his store), we were impressed with his determination to help us. We have been loyal customers of this store for years and value the fantastic advice and help we get from Steve and his partner Troy Usnik.”
“Great Rental Service. I rented two machines from Diamond Tool- A 60 foot boom lift then later a 32 ft scissor lift. Both machines worked great and got the job done safely and efficiently. No hidden fees and the sales staff are very friendly and reasonable. Pick Diamond Tool over the other big chain rental companies! I worked with Rob and the salesman CJ and they were great!”
“The Hardware's are my forte you never know what they might have what you might need or just to shop and look around I like Hardware better than those big bucks stores stop by check it out and help help out the little guy”
“Very cool hardware store. Way better than going to a home depot or lowes. I enjoy how they had a little bit of everything even those items you didn't know existed!”
“Great little local hardware store for handy work around the house or very small projects. Good prices but not where you want to go if it’s a big job or if you aren’t quite sure what you need.”
“I bought a shovel call the Root Slayer. This is the best shovel I have ever owned for tearing out old plants and bushes from the ground. If you have yard work to do this is a must have for your arsenal of tools!”
“My husband and I did a full gut renovation of our South Philly home and Mike Spotts was so helpful through the process in picking out our doors, trim (baseboards, wall molding, door casing) and door hardware. The construction process was very stressful for us but working with Mike made it so much easier. Thank you so much, Mike, for your patience with my *very* specific needs! ?”
“Very friendly, helpful customer service. There’s a little bit of everything here with good, competitive prices. Prices are about equal to big online retailers, with the bonus of supporting local business! So thankful to have a place like this so close to my home.”
“The place was organized the store was well lit the staff was fast n helpful. They had what i needed and knew how to locate the item swiftly. The prices where ok. The parking seem to be my only problem. I had to park in a bus only zone and run in and out wich with the stores help I was in and out but there's no parking only on the side streets wich are always packed. All in all the experience here was ok no hassles waits or worries.”
“Whenever I need tools or supplies for a project, this place comes through every time. The staff are knowledgeable and always ready to help you find exactly what you need. It’s a one-stop shop for any DIY enthusiast.”
“The gentleman at the counter thoroughly explained the sprinkler heads provided information that i wasn't aware of ..what was important to me i didn't have to ask”
“Any time I call Phil always has an answer and you do not walk around store very long before and employee asks you if y I u need help..... upon entering the store your always greeted.....just a great small hardware store that my entire family and I having been going to for along a time”
