I heard so much about this store that I had to check it out for myself. If you are new to tow, you should know that the general perception of locals is that if "you can't find it at McGuckin's, it doesn't exist." That's probably pretty close to the truth, for this store seems to have it all. Calling it simply a "hardware store" is a gross under-representation for it not only has every widget and gadget imaginable, it stocks bigger items as well. They even have a kitchen and bath design center on-site.
They boast over 200,000 items and I'm pretty sure that's accurate. And their staff prides themselves on topnotch customer service--they can find anything i this huge place and THEN they can tell you what it's for. The only caution--plan on spending more time than you think when you get there!
