They have such a great selection especially the plumbing I find things there that u can't find at home Depot or Lowe's in fact I've found parts I needed that my plumbing supply houses didn't have any the atmosphere is super cool and they are knowledgeable even if you don't know the name of what you are looking for

Not the Watson Hardware of years ago. Called asking about 3M two-sided tape, the guy said "let me check." Three minutes later said "Yeah, we got it." O.k. drove up there, walked in , said "I called about 3M two-sided tape he told me where it was. I went back there and guess what there wasn't? 3M two-sided tape! No 3M tape at all! I made sure to bark about their "efficient" customer service all the way out the door for the last time! They obviously don't think anything about leading potential customers on wild goose chases. I like to shop local but that's not the crew I use to deal with there!

Very over priced. They charged me $2.00 each for a 10 mm washer. When I returned them because they did fit another guy working there was like wow these were how much. Give him the receipt and he looked so confused. But gave me my money back.

Olde Tyme Hardware every nook and cranny has a little bit of something that takes you back when you're young

Watson's is absolutely amazing. I get excited every time I need something that I can get at Watson's (which is often more than you think). Their canning and cooking supplies section is surprisingly good, and of course they have fully stocked hardware and paint sections. Everything is fairly priced and the people are always helpful and friendly.

Watson Hardware is a charming store with an array of products to meet maintenance and repair needs. The staff is helpful and very friendly. Prices are surprisingly good. Overall, Watson Hardware is an excellent example of a locally owned small business (the likes of which seem increasingly uncommon).

A great old fashioned, small town hardware store, well stocked, with wood floors and tin ceiling (and a cat!)Should have what you commonly need so shop here first.I personally and my company have been buying our needs here for 30 years.Many Saturday mornings I say "honey, I'm going to Watson's."I remember my dad saying almost every Saturday morning, "honey, going to the hardware store."And sometimes my mom would reply "oh yea, just exactly what goes on in that so-called 'hardware store'?"

I cannot begin to say how pleased I was with my visit to Watson's Hardware store. Trying to find just the right finish to match the old wood and she went above and beyond to fine the match. Thank you sooooo much.

I love Watson's the current owner is a great guy and knows his stuff. If you like an old timey hardware store that has a little of everything and creaky squeaky hardwood floors this is the place for you!

They were able to help me where Home Depot couldn't. They were to give me some screws that I need it for about a dollar. If I had gone to Home Depot they probably would have charged me five or six dollars.

One of the great small town hardware stores, where sales people will help you, and be happy to do so.Watson Hardware was founded in 1887 by Miles J. Watson and still carries his name. Watson turned it over to his son in law, Glenn Molyneaux, who sold it to his son, Glenn Molyneaux Jr., known as Jim.I grew up working in this hardware store, which was owned and managed by my dad, Jim, and my mom, Barbara. And it's going strong. Mom and Dad were so proud of this store. They sold it in the 1990s, and the current owner is doing a great job.

Friendly and helpful staff. Plus they seem to fit a lot of essentials in what space they have. Oberlin is fortunate to have this great hardware store centrally located!
