True Value, Robinson's Handyman or Ace Hardware?

[dr. d]

TV, H or A,
i go there, already with list in mind or on hand.
it's so easy to spend there. kasi naman, "anything we buy can probably come in handy in the future."

handyman is just beside the workplace.
ace has many branches.
true value, i have to go out of my way to go there.

even if i do not have something to buy there, i still go... for relaxation.

few items today are not sourced from china. many (majority?) of the items sold in these here three stores, are china-made.
even the old brands, famous for their quality, are now made in china.

Aren't Handyman and True Value owned by the Gokongweis...?

pero if you want complete items talaga, mas ok bumili sa soler st.....

yun nga lang dadayuhin pa.... pero grabe ilaw pa lang sobrang complete..... may nakita ako outdoor light talagang weatherproof and super liwanag.... i doubt if available sa mga malls...

tapos yung hardaware pa na co ban kiat ok din.....

i just wonder how safe these items are.
i mean, what is the quality control of these items?

how did you know, na talagang weatherproof ang outdoor lights? naka-lubog ba sa tubig at naka-ilaw, yung display?

dapat may PS or ICC mark lalo na sa mga electrical materials to be sure na pasado sa standard.

bantay sarado ng government agencies jan..... at hindi yan magiging sikat if they sell defective or low quality.... but meron talaga mga bulok na binebenta jan.... hindi maiiwasan kasi tabi ng divisoria....

yung sinasabi ko weatherproof light...... akala ko babaklasin lang yung hard plastic cover and lagyan ko ng compact flourescent light..... yun pala yung mismo ulo ang disposable at sealed pala so super weatherproof.........and nagkakahalaga ng 1thou ganun klase lights...... icheck ko sa mall if meron ganun klase and how much...

naalala ko tuloy nung bata ako, 1990s..... pinpellet gun namin mga matataas na outdoor lights..... bigla ako natakot baka barilin.....

and sa co ban kiat they supply sa ace hardware ng stanley proto screwdrivers....

Bought a couple of small basket containers, a universal plug adaptor with switch, a dorcy flash light, a couple of packs of fish food from Handy Man last night....

There are a few items on sale here but not in True Value....

Ok din sa DIY Hardware. Though not as much branches as Ace Hardware. Even got that member card from Ace. Laman kasi ako ng hardware like you guys.
