“I was pointed to this place back when I was tinkering with cars and wheels before yelp was even around. Last I remember I bought nuts and bolts for a set of my Japanese 2pc wheels and they had the exact same ones I needed and in stainless steel. Super happy to walk out of there knowing I have in hand what was the missing pieces to complete my restoration.. FF 15 years later and Im happy to see that they are still up and running. Will need a flange nut and I hope to come by again soon..”
“This store is a gem! Run by a friendly husband & wife, this is an amazing place to get quality machinist tools, tooling, and INFO. Ask them; they're happy to share their knowledge.”
“5-Stars for providing the community with a really wide selection of home and garden supplies.From plumbing and carpentry supplies to kitchen and household goods, this ACE has it all. For a smaller community like HMB, it’s a frequent stop we all rely on!”

7339 Mission St, Daly City“This place is great! Went to three different stores, none had the tool I needed. The guys at K-119 (also a great store) told me to check Tool Mart, and they had exactly what I needed. Be careful, you'll end up buying way more tools you didn't know you needed:)”
“Best hardware store ever!I went in for a part for Grohe kitchen faucet, even though they don't have it, they called the owner to help me find the part.My neighbor told me if I can't find the part, I have to buy a brand new set which is very expensive. Papenhausen not only answer me so many questions about kitchen faucet brands also reassure my confidence for Grohe. Not just that, Papenhausen Google and found the part for me.I offer to buy a Grohe new set from Papenhausen as a thank you gesture for the guiding light, but Papenhausen want to save me money and let me order the part on line myself.It's not just that, each staff is like the most kind human being love to find out answers and helping people, I truly love this store. For me, it's better than ordering from Amazon or go directly to Home Depot. & If they can't find something I need, they always point out direction.I stopped going to Target or Amazon for ward wares because even seeing these nice people in Papenhausen, make me feel San Fran is still wonderful.”
“If you have no other reason to go- this *feels* like a hardware store. I know when I say this I am speaking to a very specific subset of people. However, when I was a kid, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store, and I would get a lollypop while he and whomever from behind the counter would wander around looking for an eyebolt or the right shade of caulk. Giulio- who I assume is the owner, is easily 10 years older than my mom, who lives in the assisted living up the street. My mom can't be bothered to go to the chair yoga we're paying for, but Giulio went to work. He's not totally mobile, but he knows his s#!t. Whenever I come in, he or whoever else is behind the counter is happy to chat through my issue and suggest something. It's not a Home Depot- so they may not have what you're looking for every time- but they have a lot of things, and it makes me happy to know my money is staying local. Also, side story: One day during the summer, it's like 90, and I am behind a contractor who's getting a bunch of stuff - lumber, rocks...I don't know- but he's paying for it, and he grabs some water bottles for him and his crew and puts them on the counter. Giulio totals him up and says a number; the guy says, "Oh, don't forget these waters". Giulio says, "The town where I come from in Italy has the best water in the world, and it flows right off the mountain. If my father knew I was charging people for water, he'd come back from the dead and strike me down. Those are free." C'mon. How can you not go here first?”
“I may be prejudicial here as I have worked for the company for the last 23 years, but I would not have applied if I was not impressed with the quality of customer service and tools that they provided.It is a candy store for any tradesperson or DIYer”
“The guy at the counter was extremely helpful. He looked up what I was looking for and showed me exactly where it was. The price for this difficult to find synko exterior patch was cheaper than the Internet. I will be back.”
“I went in with a request for a strange screw for my car door, and they spent a lot of time with me individually... only to realize I didn't need it at all. All this for a $.47 piece of hardware. They really went above and beyond.”

Putting the tank in my suv. Great service.”
“Hassat/Ace Hardware always has what I need, no matter what it may be, from gardening supplies to painting needs. You name it / they've got it. The staff is always kind, professional, and helpful
in directing me to the correct section of the store. I've been a
customer for over 40 years.”
“Great place to make keys etc in the neighborhood. Very helpful and friendly owner always there to lend a hand. Reasonable priced items, convenient and full of helpful items without going to Loews. I will continue to shop here”

1369 Industrial Rd, San Carlos“I've been coming to this store for the better part of 2 decades now. Whether you're a simple weekend warrior like me or you do it for a living, this is the place to be. If its tool related and you need anything going from a screwdriver to a portable table saw to a new lathe for your shop, maybe a bandsaw, go. If you don't see what you need, ask. I've never stumped anyone there with a question. Give yourself some extra time if you've never been because chances are you'll be there longer than you expected once you start walking around. Yes, I read a few reviews here and all I can say is, don't listen to the guy whining about $89 diagonals. If you know tools and you know quality of tools, there is no better place and prices are definitely reasonable and competitive. I just picked up a Festool cordless 55 saw, i was not expecting to pay those Harbor Freight or HD Ryobi prices for it. Maybe don't buy that rechargeable screwdriver either, expecting to get what a 10v cordless driver gives you. There's a tool for everything and these guys seem to have it all. If they don't, chances are they can get it. If they can't, they will tell you where you can. I'll definitely keep going back and like i said, if you haven't been- go.”
“South City Lumber is our go to for all construction projects. Excellent customer service, go see Erika or Justin for assistance. We recently ordered Emtek cabinet hardware from Erika and she was patient enough and gave great recommendations. We have gotten so many compliments for our cabinet hardware.”

606 S B St, San Mateo“Needed a sheet of plastic to protect some things in our kitchen. The cashier/manager was really helpful in getting me to understand our options and I am confident that we got the right thing for our application. the sheet was cut very professionally and will look good. And the prices were very reasonable.”
“The owner, Albert, helped me find everything I needed. He was very knowledgeable. Everything was reasonably priced, and they had a great selection of goods. I will definitely be coming back.”
“First time into the shop. Someone quickly offered to help, found exactly what I needed, and got it into my car in under 20 minutes. HD and Lowes didn't have these items and the internet was more expensive and would have taken longer. It's great to have a local small business to support.”
“Pacific Manor Hardware ACE is my go to place for everything DIY around the house. It is local, and it has everything I need. Most importantly, people working at this ACE really know what they are doing and always ready to help. This store may be a bit pricier than Home Depot; however, it is well worth it - the willingness to help and professional advice from people who work there is priceless.”
“5 starts!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The young woman that works here at the desk, is so knowledgeable and a badass at her work!I will recommend you Visit the store, talk to her, ask your questions and make sure you pay attention. She shared so much about plumbing fixtures that now I am able to distinguish when something has plastic or more of a metal component.Also, they have stock of different pieces, so you can probably make your selections -place the order- and take home what your contractor needs to continue with the framing and wall work.”

40 El Camino Real, San Carlos“Had to stop by Woodcraft to pick up some items my dad had pre-purchased. Also had to pick up some smaller wood pieces for a project. Charlie's customer service was great! He was very helpful. The store has a great selection. Thanks again!”
“I needed some weird tamper proof allen screw tool. Bill showed me exactly what I needed and I was out of there in 5 minutes. Big box hardware stores need to learn a lesson.”

315 Grand Ave, South San Francisco“Great little hardware store. Especially when you don't want to walk in circles at the big hardware stores. They have a large inventory of necessary materials.”
“I knew they closed at 5 pm, but just getting off that darn Westlake northbound off-ramp took several minutes! Anyway, the fellow told me he closed at 5 pm, but he was willing to help me and make 3 sample cans to go before 5 pm. Great Service.”
“Open until 9pm on Sunday! All other hardware stores were already closed Sunday night at 8pm. I drove from San Mateo to Ace in san Bruno. Ace had what I needed urgently, I got in with 4 minutes before closing. The store team are awesome.I was pleasantly shocked for the fact that this Ace is also a full grocery store.”
“After not finding basic items on several occasions, I tried one last time and found a similar product to the one I wanted. But, to my surprise, there was a very recent change in ownership, which, I hope, will mean better and more merchandise on the shelves again soon. I will continue to try to support my local hardware store.”
“Great store, spacious and clean. But their bathrooms are SO dirty. The sinks and even the door to the men’s room are so grimy I didn’t want to touch anything. It’s always like this.”
