I called in at 8pm looking for a last minute tool. He said that he had closed already but to come down anyway and he would stay up. The guy's name is Andy and he is a great guy, very informative and helpful and deserves a mention. Definitely worth the stop.

Andy was very helpful and friendly, I asked about getting an inflammable container to top up fuel for my empty scooter, and I got a 5 L utility can for $13. It's also very convenient for locals compared to going to Bunnings Alexandria.

Just like the other reviews say, this is the most genuine, friendly and helpful service you will receive in Sydney! Great hardware store, I will always try to find what I need here before I have to look elsewhere. I'm always looking for a reason to visit this wonderful, heart warming shop that reminds me of the good old days.

I came here two years and still remember my experience at this hardware shop. Had the best conversations with the shop owner. :) I needed to fix my new bike but had no clue what tool I needed and how i can do so, the owner patiently explained to me how and what needs to be done and what tool i need

The gentleman in this shop is simply amazing. He said 'I'd love to take your money, but honestly, just buy some toothpaste to fill it in" he saved me $50 and gave great advice. It worked. I will be going to this shop and always spending my money there. Got to keep this fabulous customer service alive. Thankyou.

The other reviews have pretty much summed up this wonderful little shop. It's a through back to the yesteryear of my past, it's not trying to be nostalgic, it just is, what a lovely surprise. The lovely gent that runs it is genuine, friendly and funny. He had exactly what I wanted and it came with decent advice. Take cash, or prepare to have your credit card run through the old school visa machine. Someone mentioned dogs, the one that met me barked, that's all. So glad to have stumbled onto this little reminder of my past. I will certainly recommend and come back.

The nicest, most genuine service ever. I needed help repairing an air mattress and after helping me find the small piece of sandpaper I needed wouldn't charge me for such a little thing. This tourist was very appreciative (the difference between sleeping and not!) and the gesture was appreciated. Obviously a business that cares about its community. Highly recommend.

We went to the shop, wondering whether we would be able to find screws. We knew he has gardening products & tools but not sure about all his wares. Andy, the owner is a lovely, funny, helpful eccentric character and we’ve made it our “go to” hardware store Move over bunnings.

A wonderful charming shop from a bygone era. The owner is very helpful. He had everything I needed. If you are someone that DEMANDS a warehouse sized shop with a million cheap and nasty items, this is not your place, it will only ruin your day. But for everyone else, its worth a visit. Tools, silicone, glues, nails, screws, cleaning products, vermin control, he has you covered.

Best people ever!!! I grew up down the street from these guys. My favourite dog Mackie used to love a pat as we walked past ❤️. Thank you Andy! As an 8 yr old who was asked by mum to fix the fuses(This was around 1986… I was very happy to be our family’s handy girl) you guided me to the correct size fuse and educated me all about how dangerous it could be if the fuse was changed with the incorrect size. Furthermore you trusted that I had understood your teaching!!! Thank you so much!! Absolute true blue legends you and you wife xo
