I have 4 great hardware stores by me. Tacoma Screw, Parkrose Hardware, Winks and Hankins.

Winks and Hankins are old time, wood floor, everything from baler twine to panel fasteners.

Tacoma screw rarely leaves me stranded, but they aren't open weekends. Parkrose hardware is one of those independent True Value hardware stores that prides itself on it's massive selection of fasteners.

Lowes and Home Depot have their place, but I never expect to find anything but basic building supplies, and even then I sometimes come away disappointed.
