Rockler Woodworking & Hardware

They have everything. And i mean everything. Prices are fair, the service was impeccable. I’ll be back…

I’m in heaven. This is a woodworker’s paradise. Everything that you need for your woodworking project is here. They sell power tools, hand tools, jigs, hardware and accessories, and domestic and exotic hard and soft woods. They have some stuff for wood-​turning, but I’ve seen a better selection at Woodcraft.
The staff are woodworkers too and they’re super nice. They know how to do things and what tools you will need and won’t make you feel stupid for asking. They may even have some suggestions for a finish for your wood. Every Saturday, they have a small demonstration on how to use some tool. It may be a bit of a sales class, but it will give you inspiration for your next piece.
Get on their email list to see the specials. For an everyday item, you’re going to pay a premium for coming here over what you can pay online. However, when they have a sale or a special, it can’t be beat. I traded in an old router for a $ 50 credit towards a new router. The old router didn’t even have to work! I’ve also bought an $ 80 saw blade for $ 30 at a Christmas sale.

Dear Bet,
Thank you for all of your help, you’re such a kind person. It’s nice to see a woman in this field of work with such excellent knowledge and experience.

When you go in you are greeted everyone seems happy there and the smell of exotic woods are in the air the place is very laid back and I am never afraid to ask a question

Rockler is the best brick and mortar store for the professional and amateur woodworker alike! They have increased their weekday hours to 7pm, and on Saturday they are also open an hour later, closing at 6pm. I recently used a Groupon to pick up a super bargain. They had the Port A Mate MegaVise on sale for $ 69.99 (normally over $ 120), which is nearly identical to the Rockwell JawHorse that has become so popular over the last year or two. With my $ 30 for $ 15 Groupon I took it home for $ 55! The quality of the Port A Mate is every bit as good as the Rockwell that retails for about $ 150.
I was also able to pick up some other great sale items including bench hold down clamps for half price and some specialty stainless hardware for a project I was working on. Rockler is still my go to shop! Sign up for their online newsletter and get promotions (typically coupons for 20% off any regular priced item) and their circulars with even better deals year round.
