Marshall’s Industrial Hardware

I’ve been going here for the last 20 years. Before it was a ACE Hardware. This place is a project creators dream come true. Unlike any hardware store in San Diego. Plan to spend ½ hour minimum just talking it all in. Amazing.

This place is so cool!
Any handy man would fall in love with this place. My boyfriend needed some bolts for his car and didn’t want to buy them at the dealership (cheapo) so we went here and got the next best thing.
$.75 a bolt and it was stronger than the stock bolt. Everyone was very helpful in helping us find the correct size and material.

Love this place! Has great selection of tools and supplies for home improvement and decorating projects. The staff is very helpful and friendly which is necessary because you can easily get lost in this place. Parking is plentiful and prices are on our with other hardware stores except this place has everything they do plus much more.

This is the place to come to when all others can’t provide. They have a special selection of fasteners that nobody else has, no matter the size or style they have them all. It’s a bit daunting to find the right screw or nut on your own so they have experienced employees who can assist and zone in immediately to the section you can explore. They also carry high quality and unique tools you won’t find anywhere else.

Great store and nice people!

Hardware heaven. Best store in town. Love this place!

This place is a great find! I have been looking for a nut for an antique dresser and after looking in all the usual places I was directed to Marshall’s. Although I was not able to find an exact replica of the piece I was able to find something that will allow us to install the drawer pull back onto the drawer so that we can operate the drawer the way it is intended to be used. The staff is very helpful and pool their experience assisting each other to come up with the best solution.

This place is amazing. For every project I do I usually stop here first and pick up a set of stainless fasteners, have them polished and build away. Cars, dirt bikes, what ever you are building. They have the right fasteners, organized, relatively easy to find. Best hardware store in san diego. Highly recommend not going to your local major chain store to buy hardware. It is better, cheaper, and easier to find here.

Great place if you need all kinds of hardware. My only problem is that the staff tend to act a little above you imo. I’m a minority I guess… but I just come here often because of all the great stuff you guys have. 5 stars for the hardware, 3 stars for the customer service

So I have been in San Diego for 18 years, and shopping at Marshall’s Industrial Hardware the entire time.
They have more fasteners of all types than any other brick and mortar store in San Diego… especially the little bitty screws with torx heads, allen heads and other types of heads that are almost impossible to find… and they have them in stainless steel, which is HUGE!
They carry almost impossible to find brands and types of product like Wiha tools from Germany, Starrett products, adhesives from Loctite… you can get this stuff on the internet, or by going to many different stores, but Marshall’s Industrial makes it easy to find under one roof.
Salespeople that have always stood out to me are Kevin, Lisa, Norine and Olga. Always friendly, always helpful.
Marshall’s is located in and caters to the area of San Diego for hi tech machine shops and manufacturers. You have to have a basic idea of what you want when you go there. It isn’t Home Depot and will never try to be. If you have no idea what you are looking for or how to ask for it, do some online research first. Many of the products here have a specific name, and waving your hands around like an idiot trying to describe what you are looking will not do you any good.
They don’t carry some things that I consider crucial (small packs of Crazy Glue, more varieties of epoxy, greater variety of Torx fasteners…) and the prices are extremely high in some cases (Wilton bench vises, Starrett products, Surefire light…) but overall, when looking for something that is hard to find elsewhere, Marshall’s Industrial Hardware usually has it. They have a lock on my business for as long as I live in San Diego, and I will miss them when the time comes to move elsewhere.

As a jewelry designer, I find this place has great metals, tools, microbolts, etc. for some of my supplies. They are always super helpful!

Great place… they have a ton of stuff, very well organized, and if you need help finding anything… the staff is pretty cool.

I came in to get some keys copied and decided to look at some other things while I was there. When I was walking around, a worker came up to me and asked if I needed help. I simply asked if they copied keys there since I’ve never gotten this done here and wasn’t sure. She grabbed the bag of keys out of my hand and look at them, and told me to go to 1E.
Then she asked me (rudely) what I was doing walking around? I responded that I was just looking around and she said «no, 1E and ring the bell.»
I guess they don’t like customers browsing their store. All of the other items I would have purchased had I gotten a chance to, will be bought at another store with better customer service.

I live in Fremont, and I order it on-​line. Their website make it easy to find what I need and the paying process so easy and fast. Honestly, I surf dozen of websites before I find this website.
I’m buying specialized stuff (temper proof screw and bold for my project) and they have every size that I’m looking for and more.
The stuff got delivered to my work today and it look. All the items are there and individually labeled. This is important because without the labeling, I can’t tell what size it is.
The other important thing if not the most important, at least for me, it that, I can order any quantity I want; I don’t have to order a box of 100, like other websites.
Again thank you.
BTW, the screw look good too.
Con: I don’t recall they sent me the tracking number! it would be nice incase!!!

Man, talk about hardware heaven! I love this place. Walked in looking for black trim screws, walked out $ 150.00 lighter 2 hours later. Found what I needed and some stuff I didn’t need but figured I would stock up while there. They have every screw imaginable plus anything else a guy might need or want. The staff is nice and helpful too and they know hardware unlike Lowes when I asked for a spigot O-​ring and the girl said, «uh, whats a spigot?» The only complaint is the hours they’re open, half day on sat. and closed sunday, close at 5 M-​F, makes it hard to get there from north county (another reason for stocking up). This is what a hardware store should be.

WOW. Just WOW. This place is a Man’s Man of a hardware store. HUGE place to find anything tool related. Specialty wrenches, wires, nuts, bolts, everything.
Every take apart small electronic toy and lose a screw!!! FRUSTRATING! But bet you bottom dollar you’ll find the replacement here. It can be a little overwhelming looking for it on your own, but the employees here are helpful and can get if for you. best thing is you don’t have to buy a 30pk! If you need just 1, then you can purchase just 1!
You can easily lose yourself here and end up spending over an hour just browsing in awe. It’s like a more straight to the point Home Depot or Lowe’s.
Parking is kinda crappy but once you get into the shop, it’s not so bad.

A real hardware store for men. You can find nuts, washers, bolts, screws, tools, tubes, wires, uhmm… anything you need to start off your project or fix something. What’s nice is that you can buy the items indivually as well if all you need is a few nuts and bolts.
The staff here is incredible helpful and will help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
The only thing that sucks is that they’re only open regular business hours, close early on saturdays, and close on sundays. Makes it a bit difficult to get things for someone who works regular business hours and does fixing/​projects on the weekends.
The prices are also very reasonable and I would rather go here than Home Depot for most of my hardware needs. If you haven’t been here yet, you’ll go nuts. They got all the sizes and types for you.

A toy store for Men, they have hard to find tools and a bolt selection that is out standing

THIS IS WHAT A MODERN DAY HARDWARE STORE SHOULD BE!!!
I can’t tell you how many times Marshall’s has come to the rescue. Need a bolt? Screw? O-​ring? HSS drill bit? Marshall’s will probably have it, if it is made on this planet.
I needed to replace a very small flat Phillips-​head, stainless steel screw/​bolt on a HiFiMan headphone earcup. I mean this thing was super small. I called the place and was told that they didn’t have the Phillips-​head in that size but that they had a hex-​head in that size. What? Super! The hex-​head is actually «dressier» and I preferred that! I went right on over and bought a dozen of them. Price? Seven cents a piece! A bargain. Especially true, since most places on line make you buy bulk quantities. Oh, Marshall’s has bulk quantities too, if that is what you are looking for…
Do yourself a favor. If you need «hardware» skip the trip to Home Depot, Lowes, and Dixieline.
This is an awesome place that does one thing really well – they sell hardware products and not everything under the Sun like the big boys are trying to do.

Helpful staff, excellent selection of rare and hard to find items and components. This place is a wonder to wander and just see what you can find.
My only wish is that they had better weekend hours. Only open Saturday till noon, you had better have a good idea what you want from them if you work during the week and need to shop for a hard-​to-​get component.
Don’t park in the lot in the back, you will have to walk the perimeter of the building to get to an open door. Park closest to Miramar Road. You will have to shortcut around the building over stones and grass if you park in the main lot.
