The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was looking for one special screw for my office chair. They helped me find it and I was so happy because I finally fixed my chair. Keep up the friendly and efficient attitude!

Was a regular at this place. Only a couple blocks from my house very convenient. Went to get plumbing supplies which total a little over 4 dollar. Guy wouldnt let me pay with a ATM card and got rude about it. Ive been going here for the last 6 years wince Ive lived in the neighborhood and spent $40 dollars on a overpriced saw blade the day before. I dont carry cash ever. Wont be back. Ill drive the extra 2 blocks to Nicholsons.

Excellent service!! I came in to rent a one way Penske truck for my move to Las Vegas. Dean got me checked in and out the door quite expeditiously, not only that, he was extremely personable and pretty funny. He even added a healthy discount to my rental. With that said, I greatly appreciate the diplomacy and I encourage those with hardware or rental needs to visit Dean at TRI B Hardware!!

Expect to pay more. But also expect what ever you bought will be better than what you get a the big block stores.

Great little hardware store. One of the few remaining in the area. Stop here for the hard to find parts that the big box stores dont have. Reasonable prices, too.

LOCAL hardware store where you can go just to shoot the breeze. Very knowledgeable about every aspect of projects. Have the largest and best nuts, bolts and screws you can find. They even have chrome for motorcycles. Benchmade knives which are hard to find, they got it. You really have to stop in to see what they have.

Save yourself the drive, only to end up in an overstocked and under-staffed major hardware store. Instead, visit the young men at Try-B Hardware & Supply on Charles St which is 5mins from everywhere in Rockford. Straight to the point customer service which saved me time and money! Thanks to all the Marines that are staffed there and the one civilian that has to put up with the stories loll Semper Fideles

Always GREAT service, friendly help, no long lines, and when you call, you actually get to speak with a person the first time. No buttons to press. Theyll answer questions and the guys have helped me with countless projects as a young guy figuring out things in my home as they go wrong. Great store. Great crew.

If you ever need a bolt for your automotive project, they have it.. I somehow lost a bolt when I was replacing my trucks transmission.. went to every auto store around Rockford.. no one had it. I ended up going to Tri-B.. amazingly they had enough to replace all 6. The guys there know exactly where to find the right stuff quick.. great little hardware store!!

Review №36

Penske Truck Rental Rate was A lot more than quoted price. Over priced amount and ridiculous amount to pay for deposit. Truck had not been swept out and had Cheetos on floorboards I side the cab and a pair of broken sunglasses. They were not willing to honor my quoted price via online reservation. Giving three stars because the returned my deposit quickly.

My first choice n hardware. The owner is very knowledgeable and has a lot of stuff for sale. I never go to the big box stores. Nothing beats the mom and pop shops. Keep your business local and your money will stay local.

Absolutely the best hardware store in Rockford. I shop there for 99% of my hardest needs. Theyre the only place in town that has the small sized screws, nuts, and o-rings that I use for my hobby. The service is stellar. I love supporting my local store instead of the big box stores, and the best part is that I dont have to pay a premium to do so, Tri-Bs prices are just as competitive as the big stores.

I just bought a house and am learning how to do basic house maintainence myself to save money. These guys are awesome. Tell me the parts I actually need even if the parts are 50 cents. I thought I needed a major part and they told me I need a 50 cent piece. Since I didnt have any cash they just let me have it. I go here first for everything now.

This is a great moms and pops hardware store. Here you can you can buy one screw or a box of screws. They fix window screens, even sell custom windows. They also sell black pipe for gas installation, also cut and thread the pipe to an specific size. Great neighborhood hardware store.

Went to home depot for a drain part. After near half an hour and two employees we discovered they did not carry it.I was in and out of here with my part in less than 3 min and that includes parking. Staff was helpful, knew what my part was and also where it could be found. Will be taking the extra couple of minutes drive when I need parts in the future.

Nice hardware store prices are good for being a small hardware store.. Have a lot off items inside. Never have been disappointed yet!!! I own 2 rentals near by and always go there because its closer than going to Home Depot, Lowes and Menards.

This store offers quality products at a fair price. The staff has always been able to help answer any questions that I have, and the location is great. All of the Big Box stores are out of the way for where I work/live.

I live in the neighborhood and have been coming here for years. Its one disappointment after another. I always end up going here first and then end up leaving and having to go to Menards anyway. Going to start saving myself some time and agrevation and just go elsewhere from the start.

These guys carry a little bit of everything but my favorite part of the store is the nuts, bolts, washers, screws, etc. If you need some odd-ball weird fastener item, chances are they have it. I recently did some work on my 2003 HD FatBoy and needed to replace quite a few uncommon nuts and bolts. I couldnt find them anywhere besides the ridiculous priced genuine factoryreplacement parts. These guys had everything I needed in stock. They also had the same stuff in stainless steel, so for a few extra bucks I upgraded everything to stainless. Now I never have to worry about them again. Great place!
