Great neighborhood hardware store and very convenient! It’s like a 7-eleven of Home Depot! All the most common things you would looking for in hardware store are here!

Indisputably the most competent, kind, and efficient staff I've experienced out of hundreds of various stores. I went in for a request unrelated to buying anything, and the very kind cashier/manager indulged my request, helping save me over 45 minutes.

Then a separate employee helped me figure out exactly which door sweep I needed. I was able to kill two birds with one store thanks to the amazing employees here at Pill Hardware. Thanks again!

Very greatful to have a traditional Hardware Store with a good selection nearby in Cambridge. Its like Aubuchon Hardware, the guy on the floor was nice and they had what I needed.

I've always liked this hardware store! Lived in Central a few years back and recently moved back to the area.

The employees are helpful and, though it's not huge, the shop its pretty well stocked for typical home/home improvement needs. Since it's a fairly quick walk for me, I'll usually stop here first before looking to order anything online. In addition, they've reliably duplicated keys for me in the past (and today actually!). I've never had an issue with duplicated keys, but if you bring back the problem keys with the receipt they'll help you out.

Overall take away: Pill Hardware is a good hardware shop and I'm happy to continue being a patron of it.

One of the best local hardware stores in Cambridge...
Good customer service..

I'm always impressed with the variety of hardware that they manage to fit into their small shop space. Prices are a bit higher than the big box stores, but that's typical of places that can boast spitting distance to a T stop. And I've never had complaints about the staff. This place is perfect for picking up supplies for small odd jobs.

Excellent service.extremely professional staff.organized store and clean and right near public transportation to make it easy to get to.

Amazing the variety of merchandise in this small store... lots of items for garden and home including keys cut.. Efficient, helpful, friendly service, staff who always are willing to help you find a product and answer questions.

The manager was extremely helpful and honest. And I love my newly painted walls! I will definitely come back here for all my home improvement needs in the future.

Nice small hardware store. They had what we needed and it's nice to shop in a small store these days.

So the prices can be a little higher than your typical Big Box store the staff is friendly helpful and accommodating unlike the big box stores. Great for picking up handyman materials and quick buys for small repair jobs I love this place.

I've come here a few times for random items, and each time the worker has been very friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are very fair as well. My go-to spot for hardware-related purchases near Cambridge.

Like any of the few remaining neighborhood TruValue franchisees, Pill Hardware is not as comprehensive as the box store hardware stores -- but they have what you need to make plumbing and household repairs, paint, clean, purchase and store basic tools, plant and maintain lawns and gardens, set up a kitchen or bathroom, and cut keys and blinds. Their prices may be slightly higher on certain items than a box store -- but you didn't spend gas, mileage on your car, and time going out of your way to get there. Best of all, you are supporting a disappearing tradition of diverse "Main Street" businesses all within walking distance.

Great little hardware store right in the heart of Central. The store is pretty small, but they always seem to have whatever random hardware I'm looking for. Prices are reasonable and staff are helpful at pointing out where the item I'm looking for is located.

A gem of a resource for anyone who needs to get stuff done around the house. You name it and the knowledgeable people at the Covid-safe front counter can tell you if they have it and where to find it. If it's not on the rack they'll go check the stock in a mysterious rmpkoyee-only lower level. If it can be ordered, they'll order it. I have purchased everything from hose clamps to epoxy putty to box-cutter replacement blades to a plastic sheeting storm window for my slidere. There's even a small selection of kitchen appliances. Support this store. It's one of the last ones standing and deserves to continue because it dies its job wonderfully.

Staff are friendly and helpful. The store has everything you need. What more do you want in a store

Very helpful and fun staff. I always come here to make key duplicates and it's affordable and quick. A lot is packed into this local hardware store!

Nice hardware store with a wide range of products. Staff were helpful and friendly. Prices were a bit high but that is expected in the city.

I lost a nut on my skateboard and they checked all of the imperial nuts, all of the metric ones, and help tighten one on all for less than a dollar. Such nice and helpful customer support
