Great local hardware shop that has for years been my starting point for all kinds of projects. Good selection, well organized, helpful staff, fair prices, good service. The older Chinese man who runs the shop is full of knowledge and he knows every product on his shelves. As a small shop, they won't have building materials or lumber (can't find this stuff south of Bloor anymore since ML Lumber was bulldozed), but they have most of the hardware you'll need for household jobs, and a surprisingly good selection of tools for 'heavier' work. I recently needed some masonry tools, for example, and they had a better selection than the Home Depot on Gerrard. Prices are on par with Home Depot or Rona too.
