I've been going to Chaparral Bolt over 20 years for high quality, larger sizes, and hard to find fasteners. They're good folks and I'm glad they're here for quality products and knowledgeable experts, like it used to be.
On my first visit, not knowing exactly what I needed, the staff was patient to help me find the correct hardware, the prices were competitive, and I was taken care of in a timely fashion!
They always have what I need, get in and out quick. Even hard to find stuff is easy peasy... Would rather come here get it quick then go to the bigbox and get lost hehe
I've been doing business with Chaparral for over 6 years now. They run a sound business with excellent service. I initially went to the bigger name shops (Ace, Fastenal, ect...) since I was relatively new to town. And I would find myself at Chaparral looking for what the others didn't have, every time. So I quickly learned to quit wasting my time and go straight to Keith. They are not always the cheapest but they are the Best. I'm willing to pay the extra 2 cents for inventory convenience and personal service that ultimately saves me time, which saves me more money than I invested on the merchandise.
I don't usually entertain other's blogs/ratings... but in the case of "Kevin's" entry below, I find myself compelled to reciprocate to what seems to be a half-story at best. As a brother veteran in the Armed Services, our responsibility to each other doesn't drop with our ETS date. We must continue to look out for each other and that is my intention for you~ As I hope you would do this for me, not through a friend but directly. Although, by the vagueness of your post, I'm not sure whether you are the Veteran or if it is your friend. At this point I will assume responsibility to discuss this with both of you. I wasn't at the scene you described and by your explanation, you weren't either. Thus, I cannot substantiate your (or your friend's) claim, nor can I defend Chaparral. But what I have observed here is that there is no substance, fact or references to your (or your friend's) story. There seems to be a lot missing "between the lines". And it seems to be merely something that has been passed through an arbitrary "grapevine". As a proud Veteran who try's to maintain his honorable character, I rarely, if EVER assume another's Character. As my friends have their own character, they can speak for themselves. Not only do they speak for themselves but they would put me in my right place if I were to speak for them. So now, I stand behind our honorable troops in the field by standing in front of you now, asking you to be careful with what you say, particularly in public. Based on your post, you are "proud" and this remark "hurt you" And I'm here to tell you that trying to shoot from the hip with an emotionally charged weapon is dangerous, you are likely to shoot yourself in the foot. I will part with this seasoned, battle-hardened Veteran's quote: "If you haven't been there, then shut your mouth."
Good Business.
