“When you think you already know what you want before making a major power tool purchase, it still pays to talk to a true expert—and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Justus True Value Home and Garden.
When considering a switch to my first high-powered electric blower I thought I had a solid idea of what I needed. Luckily, I connected with Brian, who took the time to walk me through everything—from the obvious pros and cons to the important details most people overlook. He helped me think through additional costs like batteries and chargers, and explained how those upfront investments actually make the purchase worthwhile in the long run.
At other places, you simply don’t get this level of service or expertise. Brian clearly knows his craft—especially when it comes to Stihl products—and more importantly, he’s honest. He didn’t try to oversell me; instead, he helped me figure out whether a particular model would be overkill for my yard or not powerful enough. That kind of honest, knowledgeable guidance is invaluable.
Thanks to Brian, I walked away with a high-powered Stihl electric blower that’s perfect for my needs—and I couldn’t be happier. As a bonus, I no longer have to deal with exhaust fumes just to do quick yard work.
If you're looking for real expertise, personalized service, and someone who actually cares about getting you the right tool, Justus True Value is the place to go. Thanks again, Brian—I truly appreciate it!”
“What a hardware store should be. If you want something, they are eager to help. Big box stores stink. Visit your local hardware store. They literally have almost everything”
“I'm giving a five rating because harbor freight had a very similar item to one in Tractor Supply yet was half the price. I don't know where this tire was manufactured, but the one at Tractor Supply was made in China, so I don't think that was the reason for the difference in price. Also, the bathroom here is so super clean and well thought out. Good job guys.”
“Ace certainly is the place to go, the workers and service were exceptional. Always have what I need and they are always friendly to you put with any questions. They certainly seem to know where everything is in the store.”
“Nice larger size local Ace. I tend to always find what I need here without the longer drive to Wilkes Barre or Dickson City. From specialty screws, to driveway patch, to bird seed, even coal stove gaskets and bagged coal they have it at a fair price.”
“I went to Ace to purchase nothing. Just wanted to do some browsing. As soon as I walked through the doors I was greeted by staff with a smile and a hello. They asked if there was anything they could help me with and seemed eager to point me in the right direction. I was looking for nothing in particular, so I as such and went on my way.
I was absolutely amazed at the cleanliness and organized nature of this particular store! Everything in their own slots and front facing! Well stocked and very tighty! This place was like a mini Walmart! It had almost anything you could think of! A hardware store that sells hand soap and decorative bathroom garbage cans? Couldn't believe what I could buy here! So cool! The manager was super sweet and courteous. Stephanie I believe her name was. If you're in the market for a barbecue grill, battery operated lawn mower, any type of hardware or curtains, this place is a must stop for all your shopping needs!”
“They have a little bit of EVERYTHING to get you by. A good selection of the things you need. They're friendly, knowledgeable, & will help you until you're out the door. It's great having them so close by. Love going there.”

“Good selection, can usually find what I need. But I will echo the experience of others, not a great customer experience when you’re treated like a huge nuisance for walking in 12 minutes before closing. I was literally in and out of the door in two minutes, but was told by the man at the register to “hurry up“ three times while checking out. Front door was locked 7 minutes prior to closing time.I’ve worked retail, I understand the desire to get home promptly, but if you’re open for business there’s no reason to treat people poorly whether it’s 5 mins or 5 hours to close.”
“Extremely helpful and friendly store employees. The associate Eric worked with me on perfecting a rusty cat cage that most would consider trash into a beautiful cat condo. Very knowledgeable about what products to use for restoration, helping me conquer every obstacle I had. Trust me I am not a professional DIY person, and returned to the store 3 days in a row with issues and he walked me through it all like a pro!!! Eric is the real MVP, I never would have received such amazing help from a large chain store like Lowe’s or Home Depot. Thank you Eric and Ace Hardware!! I’m grateful and will be a returning customer and direct anyone to your store for any home improvement needs. 10/10 best place ever!!!”
“They set the standard for customer service and exceed expectations every single visit. They have come in clutch several times during our store buildout in Archbald by always having the needed part in stock and always always having friendly, knowledgeable and absolutely amazing service.”
“I visited the APR store early morning on January 21st due to the igniter on my central air was broken. It was -2 degrees outside and I have a 10 month old baby at home and a wife who works from home. My house was 56 degrees ?. The guys behind the counter, Chris and another gentleman were able to match up the exact part for me and I was on my way home in less than 5 minutes. Thank you guys for the outstanding customer service !!”
“Went today for a few odd ball things , they had everything I needed. Place was clean, well organized and they have a great selection of the everyday items you need and then some. Staff was awesome and super helpful ! Great addition to our community , Thank you !”
“I've been working in downtown Scranton for 4 years. Just found this hidden gem. Friendly and knowledgeable hardware store service in a without the hassle of Dickson City. Well stocked and reasonably priced.”
“This place is the Real Deal ! They have everything a construction company can need and the prices are amazing . New ownership is doing an amazing job . We will be back in bulk”
“I went to home Depot and search of a few things but among them was polyurethane. there was a friendly looking woman working in the aisle who I approached, expecting only mild knowledge of where I could find the polyurethane. much to my surprise, the employee, Jordan, had a HUGE amount of experience in woodworking and in, you guessed it, Polyurethane. Even though I interrupted her, she was very welcoming, very friendly, obviously very knowledgeable and incredibly kind. this place is lucky to have an employee like her. she deserves any and all of the accolades there are, or might be, for customer service.”
“Bought some pepper plants, strawberry plants and some gorgeous geranium today. Lowe's has beautiful plants and the prices were really good! Associates are very helpful.
My plants are doing very well, the geranium are beautiful!
Just bought gorgeous solar lights for thr front steps of my house. The price was reasonable. They seem to be very sturdy and should last a long time.”
“I ran around town to 4 different locations for an impossible to find value stem and after multiple locations told me I’d likely to replace the assembly Summa’s had it and saved my sanity”
