KMS Tools Chilliwack

Hardware is a category where the word independent still means something practical. The big-box home improvement stores are out at Eagle Landing and on the Sardis strip, they are national, and they are not in this directory. What remains is the older counter trade, which in Chilliwack has not been hollowed out the way it has in cities where everyone lives ten minutes from a warehouse store. Yarrow, Greendale and Rosedale each keep something of the kind, because the drive into Sardis is long enough to matter, and there is a builders' and farm supply layer out in the Village West and Cattermole industrial areas that will also trade with the public.

The listing publishes a phone number and nothing else, no website and no hours, which means the fastest way to find out whether something is in stock is to ask. That is generally true of this trade anyway. Tool and hardware counters differ enormously in what they carry and in what they will do while you wait, and the useful questions are the specific ones. Knowing exactly what you are after before setting off helps, because the advantage this trade holds over a warehouse aisle is a person who can answer a narrow question quickly.
