“I was impressed by the helpfulness of every employee I came in contact with. Moreover, not only were they helpful, they were friendly and pleasant to deal with as well! If you compare this experience with what you get at H. Depot, well… you can’t. There is no comparison. At HD it might be days before you find a group of employees huddling in a corner hoping not to be seen. At Hassett, employees were readily available and willing to assist. I want to give a special shout out to Clarence for being the icing on the cake at check-out. Great job everyone!”

“All of the positive reviews were correct about this place. Brought my kitchen knife and meat cleaver to be sharpened by their ReSharp machine. The sharpening met my basic expectations. Customer service is truly customer service, the employees are nice and friendly. I will see them for my next sharpening needs.”

“Love this bustling business. You rarely see the staff alone because they’re always quick to drop what they’re doing to help a customer, but remember when they’re at their busiest to be patient if they are helping someone else because that’s what they do best- help. I rarely know what I need or what I can use in place of something else for my project, but they always seem to know, and they explain things so I can get the right things and be on my way without having to return until my next project.
They also have a great variety of household items and gifts. Totally beats driving to EPA and Home Depot.”

“Great local hardware store in Palo Alto. Every time I go here I always feel well taken care of by their sales staff. Super HELPFUL, fast checkouts and tons of great product for every day around the house. I bought a Weber BBQ grille a few months back and not only did they deliver it to my home for free they made sure it was set up and even cleaned before they left my house. I lOVE this store and will always go here when I need home improvement items. Keep up the GREAT work and really appreciate how knowledgable their staff is. AMAZING customer service.”
