When you absolutely need to have the correct parts, just start here.Great helpful staff and price right.
Nicest, most knowledgeable and helpful staff. And they always have the weird stuff I need. Shop local, this is an awesome store.
The folks at Specialty Tool & Bolt were very professional and accommodating. I went there to get some teeny tiny metric screws for a turntable cartridge head and they were able to help me out.
This place is great. They have all the normal stuff but ... I was rebuilding a 1950s American weaving loom a couple of years ago and needed maybe a half-dozen nuts and bolts of various types. The loom was cherry with non-galvanized black bolts. Most were carriage bolts with wing nuts, some had square heads, some had only the last 1 threaded, some had thread the whole length of the bolt threaded.I was able to duplicate everything but one bolt. All were perfect matches with the 50s hardware, except for that one. That one bolt matched everything else mechanically, but was galvanized. The salesman said they could do an internet search for a non-galvanized bolt ... or I could just take the galvanized bolt and soak it in vinegar for a couple of days until the coating came off. Which I did. To add a touch of age, I heated it over the stove.That restoration is perfect. Cherry with black hardware, made in Michigan, and the wood is still perfectly straight. Cant tell the replacement bolts from the originals!
Good people with a mastery of all things nuts and bolts. This place is impressive. The guys managed to find a few obscure screws I needed (in a specific color, no less). Im a happy man!
Deebo is my guy here ... As a Mechanic/ Parts shop employee, I always recommend Specialty tool when we don’t have certain items in stock . Great people and everyone is very knowledgeable here !Always happy customers- Scott’s Mobile Auto Repair
Good old fashioned customer service at Specialty. My go to place for shop stuff.
Friendly, helpful, has stuff the big box stores dont. Will work with you to find the right item. And advise you. What hardware stores used to be like in the 50s.
Best nuts and bolts this side of the Atlantic!Any size, any thread, any length.Good, polite, and helpful service.I travel all the way from Yucca Valley to get nuts, bolts, drills and other tools.I have now moved back to Goleta. I use them even more now.I have been a customer for over 32 years now.
Very helpful and friendly. They had replacements for very obscure laptop screws, and gave me everything I needed in about 5 mins. I highly recommend this place! :)
I dont know how I feel about this rating because 3 stars doesnt really convey accurately my experience. I would like to have given them a 4 star or maybe even 5 star on their availability of items. The certainly have more obscure things that you are just not going to find anywhere else, and for that they are invaluable. It is definitely the go to place for things you have never seen anywhere else. As far as their knowledge is concerned, 4 to 5 stars as well.However, for customer service and their ability to get me what I need and on my way, they are lucky to get 2 stars from me... There has been too many instances where I have gone in there only to have to wait in line as the salesperson makes no effort to acknowlefge me or let me know that someone will be right with me and at the same time spends altogether way to much time with the customer they are helping when there are people in line waiting to be helped. There is never any urgency to try to make sure everyone gets helped promptly and not made to wait sometimes upwards of 15 to 20 minutes in line to be helped. I understand good customer service, but far too often its just a lackadaisical attitude and no initiative to get the customers in line helped and on their way. I mean 15 to 20 minutes to wait in line is absolutely absurd. Ive even had a lady walk up after I had been waiting for over 12 minutes and the guy who was too busy doing nothing to help anyone in line, suddenly became available and conveniently was able to help her right away, with his cheese, siimy smile as her pretended to be such a gentleman by helping her, while disregarding that myself and another customer had been waiting over 10 minutes already...
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. 99 out of 100 times they have what you need and if they dont have it they will find it.I couldnt imagine being able to complete restoration projects with out them.
Great small place to pick up any kind of hardware you may need. Carries a small selection of tools and other misc items. This place is a go to for my company when we need hardware right away.
Generally always have what I need. Or can point me in the right direction
The staff is always extremely friendly & knowledgeable. I often come in hoping to find an odd screw or nut for my motorcycle and they are always able to deliver.
