“This is a quaint old tyme hardware store.
It has everything the big box stores have and some things they don't have. It's close and more friendly. Just right for what you need and don't want to drive far from the neighborhood.”
“I absolutely love the customer service whether I'm calling or in person all the fellas there are so genuine and they point you in the right direction if they do not have what you need or if you're learning and just starting out they can also guide you as well they are just all around fantastic”

“I've been doing business with them for over 30 years, and they are by far the best. Swing by and see Gary and his wife, plus all his loyal workers; they will be honored to help you.”
“There's an old saying, you receive what you dish out. They treat me royal. Hercules is my go-to for cordless tools, with Byers fighting for the top spot. Pierce is unbeatable. The only downside is keeping the nail supply up with the demand”

“Northwest Ace Hardware #18300 in Mountain View, NC has once again reminded me why I go to Ace whenever I have a complicated project.
I came in needing some very specific and unusual parts related to a couple of adventure and waterman projects. One involved replacing a lost lockdown component for a pristine vintage Grumman aluminum sliding seat in my 35-year-old custom Maine Sculling boat — a long, sleek 21-foot beauty that runs straight and fast like an arrow through water. I needed a stiff plated all-thread wire in an uncommon size and configuration, and Dale took the time to truly understand what I was trying to accomplish and found exactly what I needed.
On another project, I needed an oval pinch clamp (which I learned is properly called a ferrule) along with flexible wire to create new lockdown loops for two surfboards. Seth and Eugene not only helped locate the correct parts, but went into the shop and used an angle grinder to cut the wire to the exact length needed.
All three of these gentlemen were patient, knowledgeable, and kind to this old waterman trying to keep old gear and new adventures moving forward.
That matters.
I tend to go to Ace when I’ve got difficult or unusual projects because the people there are willing to jump in with you instead of just pointing toward an aisle. Northwest Ace continues to prove that.
Fair winds and following seas — I’ll be back.

“Amazing drill bit and other various cutting tools selection... The guys behind the counter were great to deal with and clearly passionate about customer service and support. Looking forward to doing much more business with them!”
“This is a while back, maybe a year ago, but I came here to buy a power drill and wasn't really sure what I wanted. One of their employees, a veteran, was very kind and friendly. He saw me and asked if I needed any help so we talked about what I needed and he made some recommendations. He helped me get everything I needed and walked me to the register. I had a great and easy shopping experience here. I went to the Morganton location on a separate occasion after my visit at the Hickory location to buy another power tool and didn't have a great experience. I will definitely drive farther to the Hickory location because of my great interaction with their employee. (I was in the area visiting my mom, which is why I went to this location).”
“I have rented from them for 3 years, very good& friendly people! I’ve only had 2 issues with the place I’m at and they have always had it fixed the next day!! And price is very reasonable! Love talking with crystal when stopping by to pay rent!”
“Helped me with something random at a moment's notice and had a great attitude the whole way through. Very much appreciated the courtesy and effort they made!”
“I am an electrician and stopped by Hickory CED this past week due to working out of town. I always use CED when possible due to the quality of electrical parts and materials. This CED is no exception. Friendly staff that was very helpful on getting me everything I needed for my repair. This particular CED has a very neat organized, and massive amount of hand tools, power tools, and tools to make an electricians job as easy as possible. It is always nice to be able to view and check out the newest items on the market. This store has put alot of thought into what tools they offer. I have been in the electrical trade for 31 years and these guys have the best of the best when it comes to tools. If your needing electrical tools or material stop by and vist this store!”
