HandyDan Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Went to my favorite store and came home $225.00 richer in the tool cache. Noticed while there that this Friday & Saturday is one on their big sale days. No affiliation, just saying. https://www.hartvillehardware.com/product/semiannual-tool-sale/events Link to comment
Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Visiting that place is very high on my list of things to do. Thanks for the heads up, maybe it will be next week. Link to comment
Stick486 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 must be nice to have a place like that next door... I be envious.. Link to comment
Grandpadave52 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thanks Dan...Like Fred said, someplace I'd like to visit at least once... With the link though, I subscribed to some of their email lists. Not the same as being there but will have to do. Link to comment
LarryS Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I've heard alot about Hartville Hardware turning demonstrations but have never made it. I'm about 3 and 1/2 hours away. Maybe some day I'll get their. Link to comment
kmealy Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 My estimate is that it's about 3x the footprint of the usual big box (HD, Lowe's, Menards). Large selection of power tools. If you can go during one of their "shows" it is as good or better than the traveling woodworking shows. There's also an Amish/Mennonite--style restaurant next door, and in the summer, a flea market out back. One of my daughters used to live about 45 minutes away from there and I'd occasionally sneak out while visiting. Then she moved back to Cincinnati. I might have to make a side trip when I make a trip back to NE Ohio to my 50th HS reunion next year. Link to comment
Grandpadave52 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Just got my first email circular today...Impressive Even more so when I saw they are a full-line John Deere CP (Consumer Products) Dealer...they wouldn't have that contract if they weren't doing things right I guarantee you! Some day I wanna' make that trip. Looks like one best pack a lunch and get a room for a couple nights to see it all... Like the Disneyland of Hardware Stores! Link to comment
