Tools and Hardware

• Lowe's, superstore down at 9th Street and 3rd Avenue
• R&A Hardware @ 5th Avenue and Sterling: Hans says "It's not just a place to get stuff, but they totally help you solve your problem. No matter how crazy the idea, just tell them, and they'll figure out all the parts you need and find them for you. I am sure they cost more than Lowe's and Home Depot, but they will save you sooo much time, its totally worth it."
• Target, at Atlantic Center. It's got a small hardware section. This is also one of the worst Target stores in existence as shown in this video.
