“Brinkmann’s is a solid, reliable place to shop with a really positive experience overall.
The staff stood out right away—super friendly, helpful, and genuinely willing to assist without making you feel rushed or overwhelmed. That kind of service makes a big difference.
They also had what was needed when other places didn’t, and pricing felt fair and reasonable for what was offered. The store itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, which makes finding items quick and stress-free.
Overall, it’s a dependable spot with great service and a smooth shopping experience.”
“There’s something to be said about having knowledgeable and helpful workers that are willing to answer every question you have. The staff is top notch here. I needed a pipe for under my sink but my old pipe had been sawed down; because I didn’t know how to saw it down myself, one of the clerks offered to saw it in the back. Definitely can’t get this level of service with the big box stores!”
“Could not be happier with the customer service here. RJ always goes above and beyond for customers. From in person sales to over the phone he is always friendly, accommodating and helpful. I choose to go here over any other store when it comes to tool purchases. Make this your go to store!”
“This may be the best Harbor Freight I have ever shopped at. I'm very glad it is now my local one after moving to the neighborhood. If you need any help with anything related to the store or its products, Christine is absolutely the finest Harbor Freight team member I have encountered. She took it as a personal mission to make sure my Insider Track membership was adjusted after multiple dead ends on my end of getting it to work. Its rare to see such dedication and pleasant folks just running a store so well. Thanks again for everything and see you soon.”

“Asked around for some help repairing my window screens and I'm so glad I did. These guys were so helpful, turned around my screens swiftly and for a good price. I understand now they also sell snow blowers and lead blowers etc and do the maintenance, so I want to plug them for those services as well.”
“Employees are always friendly and pretty knowledgeable. Everything is fairly priced. I will usually come here first before I hit a big box store to get a tool or other gear. It does whay it needs to do and you can't complain about that.”
“This place is the best! I couldn’t run my business without the help and service they provide. Steve behind the counter is super knowledgeable about everything the sell and the applications their parts are used for. He goes out of his way to help his customers.”
“This hardware store is great place. It reminds me of the hardware stores that used to be around before Home Depot and Lowes. It's a much bigger than the old stores, but that's because it carries a lot of inventory and has to compete in some sense. What I particularly like is the hardware section. As someone who does a whole lot of repairing and fabrication, I often need certain bolts, screws, fasteners, and they have a great assortment. They are in similar organized self serve pull out draws like you find at the big box stores, but there is a huge difference. They have stock! This stores hardware drawers are filled and they have a variety of stainless, chrome, galvanized, black,etc, that makes it enjoyable to know your project is going to get done how you planned.”
“I am truly grateful for the help Nick gave me. I called in at 4:55 closing time is 5 o’clock. Nick was empathetic towards my situation, I had no heat.
He gathered the parts that I needed to correct my problem . He left them outside the store so I could pick them up and not go through the night without any heat. He also offered me his personal cell phone and encouraged me to call him , and he would walk me through the repair.
This was truly a unique experience that will stay with me for a long time. Nobody does business like these people , I will never go to another plumbing supply. I highly recommend Central Islip Plumbing Supply !!”
“Friendly neighborhood hardware store! I called ahead of time to verify store was open on New Year’s Day and was helped by a very friendly knowledgeable employee. I asked about a salt to drive my walkway and they offered me information and pricing on multiple options! When I got to the store another very kind employee directed me to the product options and offered to bring my purchase out to my vehicle. Great customer service and great store.”
“Very friendly and professional. I purchased a mower / trimmer / blower package (huge box) and the whole process of being notified when it was available, and help with the pick up was handled very well.”
“I called North East Equipment just three days before a major storm, and they had my snowblower repaired and back to me right away. Very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend.”

Walked the entire store and couldnt find a floor employee until i got over to garden. A nice older gentleman was able to help and led me to Jillian. She was quick to help and get me what i needed. The 5 stars are not for the store but solely on her performance of helping me out.”

Thanks Andrew, we can now make breakfast on Mother's day!”
“I’ve been to this Home Depot on many occasions. Most of the time they are well-stocked, have reasonable prices, and all the equipment that I need. Most of the staff are extremely kind welcoming and helpful. There have been occasions when I’ve encountered staff that don’t know what they are doing, and are unable to help, but the majority of the time the staff are helpful. The one complaint I have,, which is a consistent problem, are their shopping carts. They ate In the worst possible condition. They are extremely difficult to push and manipulate. With muscle strength limited due to illness, this makes my trip to Home Depot extremely difficult. Even those who are healthy would find these carts a challenge. I don’t think it would take too much to replace these cards with new ones. hopefully Home Depot will see this review and take some action! It Is my favorite store after all.
Update on 4/2/26 I recently visited Home depot and discovered they have new shopping carts!! I am so thankful! Now I can shop without pain and difficulty. Great job Home Depot!”
“This is an unbelievable store to deal with number one. The staff all are completely educated with Plumbing along with some senior guys. They have to answer the hard questions. They have a great back office and they’re very competitive with their pricing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in my Plumbing needs.”
