Samons “Tiger Stores”

PSA

I just wanna say that the manager and staff working at the Menaul Samons store today were genuinely some of the most helpful people I’ve ever run into at a hardware store.

The manager helped me swap out a new swamp cooler motor on my rusty old motor bracket, re-use the pigtail, and set a new motor pulley (old one was stuck from corrosion) on the shaft. They had the part I needed in stock and the expertise to set it up so I wouldn’t have to fumble with it myself up on the roof. Sure, they might have the last CRT monitor sales terminals in the western world and antique tractor feed dot-matrix printers, but they know what they’re doing and you’re not going to get that kind of help at Home Depot or Lowe’s.

A local business very much worth supporting.
