Blake’s True Value Home Center

This modest hardware store is fantastic if you need that little odd or end that is often hard to locate, or simply unavailable at a big box store.
For instance, I was doing a welding project recently and needed some Acetone for bare steel cleanup. At the big box stores in the area, I had to buy a $ 19 jug or walk out empty-​handed, as neither one either carried small bottles, or they weren’t in stock.
Thankfully, for only $ 6.49, Blakes came to the rescue. It doesn’t hurt that if you aren’t a DIY pro, they also have very friendly and knowledgeable staff, including a guy that looks like Santa’s twin brother with an awesome beard and mustache.
Blakes is one of Paso’s many best kept secrets. Next time you need that little what-​do-​you-​call-​it, stop here first.

This is a good hardware store. Every time I walk in there someone says hi to me .
Then they ask how can the help me. I love that when I tell them what I need to do, I don’t get the deer in the headlights look .A place that really helps !!!

I don’t know how they do it with ¹⁄₁₀^th the size of Lowes but Blakes True Value always seems to have the item I need (tools, paint, ect.) for my house.
