Like all Ace's, not the place for prices as low as the big boys, but has huge variety of stuff not at the big boys, and, for me, most important is the fantastic selection of nuts/bolts/screws/and a BIG etc.
There are 3 or four rows, stacked on each side with more hardware and fittings then you even know what they are for. Need a "key" for an outboard propeller shaft? Need chrome nuts for a Harley? Some weird spring? There simply is no other place around, especially since Orchard's demise locally, that has even 1/4 what this Ace has in bits and pieces. Actually, Emigh Ace in Sacramento has even more odds and ends bits and pieces of hardware.
Can you imagine how much shelf space this stuff takes up and how much money it brings in? Yeah, lots of shelf, and I'll take 25 cents of these fender washers I had an employee spend 5 minutes helping me find the right one....
