I have shopped at this place for many years for different items, but I have discovered recently some practice with prices that is utterly unacceptable. I had isolated 2 items on my browser at home after some online search (price online R113 and R129, in line with market). At the till I am charged 2.5 times for the first item, and twice as much for the second. After I realise that back home, I check my browser and find the "mistake". I call, and am told to show up for refund. After some time, refund shows up with prices still 30% more than website, and I'm told this is normal, website prices and shop aren't the same. Be very careful shopping in this place, it seems to be a common practice as mentioned by other customers. Most items aren't even labelled with prices, and the couple of pictures I took on my day of refund and online check on their website show a 30 to 40% difference. Don't be fooled!

  • Antonio De Almeida

Got sticky stuff on my shoes here, some black greasy stuff. The staff weren't very helpful or knowledgeable about what I was looking for. It took 3 tries to find someone who knew what horizontal in line clamps were... they also didn't know where or how to order parts for some of the things they were selling, as the clamp I wanted was on 3 of their toolkits so I considered just ordering the spares. They couldn't get any unfortunately. The 2nd assistant was somewhat sarcastic and then came to make me and my brother look like idiots after he sent us away to power tools and pretend like we didn't ask him for info on buying spare parts. Over all, it's okay but the staff here aren't very helpful.

  • Sulize Theron

Are there still kind and understanding people in this world? my answer is def yes!!!! Absolute the best experience received for the first time walking into this store. the lady at the till saw i was totally loss and confused. she did not ignore me she stood up from her till ad greeted me polity and assisted me straight to the product, gave some info, when she saw i am looking for something else. she directed me to the back were the assistants will help me there. And wow did they truly helped me, Thank you so very much for this kind and friendly service, Well done to Management. for treating your staff well.

Bad reception Rude and unprofessional cashiers and sale staff ignore you Eventually I found my own way Today Monday the 18/01/2021 Went back for a small piece of equipment Spent my time walking around couldn't find it Wanted to get help Nope most staff to busy talking to each other. Once I apruoached them they left. 3 clients in an aisle Myself standing and trying to find the equipment They assisted the other people when I asked for assistance was completely ignored Must have been the nursing outfit I wore

  • jacques joubert

1 stop shop for all your DIY projects and for profesional work. i buy all my bolts washers and nuts there. tools and other basic stuff. pricing could be better. still expensive as always. would be nice if they could drop their prises abit more to other competitive shops. but a good place to go to for what you neet. from electrical to plumbing. welding to mechanical. best for the closest shop from my workshop.

  • Stefan Smeda

Apple is the best local place for tools and hardware. You'll find quality and flexibility both in terms of selection and quantity of materials and bolts and nuts etc. On the downside while the staff are knowledgeable, you'll have to wait longer than you would expect to for service. This has been my consistent experience over multiple visits

  • Wihan de Jager

This was my first time ordering from them. I placed an order online during the morning and received my package the very next day. My order was packaged extremely neatly and the price I paid was the best I could find at the time. I will definitely be buying from them again. Excellent service.

  • Kathy Vallun

Hi Kobus. I just a Metabo 216 m Miter saw from your company. Buying online can be challenging but I want to complement you on your friendliness, answering all my calls and professional service. I received my saw in 2 day’s.Outstanding, Looking forward to owing business with you again. Hilton

  • Richard Morris

For such a small DIY store this company has the most increadible collection of requirements for the handy man. The service is attentive friendly and the staff are very knowledgeable too. I have moved my alliegence from Buiders to this company who's prices on many items are less than half.

  • Auke Slotegraaf

Lots of lovely hardware here! Competitive prices, too. Wider selection than at e.g. Builders or BUCO. Service is adequate (if you're South African, that is). This is a must-visit stop if you're buying screws, bolts, power tools, and general handyman hardware consumables.

  • Garth Humphries

I went for some bolts. When I found the section I was greeted immediately, in fact before I was even aware I had found the right section, and helped with explanations of the different quality and which would be best for my intended use. Couldn't ask for more.

  • rodrick barnes

This is a dream place for everyone that likes tools. As you come in the building theirs a variety of products. Very big. They sell from tools to welding equipment. You're must see this place. They are priced very well. Good quality products. Helpful staff.

  • Pieter Van Wyk

I like to shop here. Just watch out for the nuts & bolts section. If you feel like there's no one there it's most probably because they are having an intimate conversation amongst one another and wouldn't like to be disturbed. Least not by a customer.

  • Gerrit Francois van Wyk

I was in need of a certain size male/female coupler and they did not have that size in stock. The salesman was very apologetic and said he would order it for me, but if I urgently needed it, he suggested another supplier that might have it in stock.

  • Casper Groenewald

This hardware shop have excellent tools, but&bolts or household gadgets, but they are not that cheap. Mostly there are no one to assist me, while I was looking for some parts or goods, then I will leave the shop without buying a thing.

  • tino jeftha

My favourite store for shopping bolts and nuts,if you looking for any thing in hardware there are always attendants to assist you ,no waiting and very friendly staff,Thanks to Peter for his help,i miss you at the Bolt and Nuts section

  • AndymanGS

Well down Team Apple, you all manage to consistently offer good, friendly and efficient service. Ample parking, very motorcyclist friendly and I seldom leave with finding what I came looking for. Keep this recipe up, you all Rock!

  • Colin Hope

Very popular and convenient for all sorts of good quality tools, nails, screws, pop-rivets and even a selection of stainless steel nuts, bolts and washers with lots of other hardware! Plenty of free parking and a good service!

  • Niki-John Pieters

Staff all stand in little groups and chat without helping customers. Really needed some help but no one offered to assist me. Very disappointed in this store which has such great products. I suppose the problem can be solved.

  • Chad Trevor

One of the most well stocked hardwares in the area. Great selection of tools and hardware. If ever I need a weird fastener or piece of hardware this is always the place that has it and in varied quantities. Highly reccomend.

  • Greg Staffen

Possibly the worst customer service one could imagine. Staff seemingly go out of their way to ensure that they cannot help you, because when they do, they make it quite clear that it is a massive inconvenience in their day.

  • Mathias Schuetz

The best hardware store to go to if you need something out of the ordinary. They might not have everything but they usually have what others don't. Also well priced - I'd always go here first before going to Builders.

  • dianay giovante

Great place to shop for anything hardware related for reasonable prices. Felt a bit out of my depth being a girl in a guys world, but the super friendly salesman came to my rescue, and directed me to the right aisle.

  • San Gabriel

Within 1 minute of walking in we were helped by a super friendly, helpful & knowledgeable gentleman. We will never go back to any other hardware store, thank you Apple Tool and Gas for you efficient service!

  • Dee drienie Gerenger

Loads of staff with good knowledge, friendly faces, and willing to source anything not listed as stock item. These guys go out their way to assist clients. Selling Freud blades, whoop whoop Regards Dee

  • Randell Maree

  • Ivan Overton

Now THIS is a hardware store! They have a broad and deep inventory of “serious” hardware materials and tools, with competent staff who are quick to offer assistance. Prices are very good too.

  • Gerald Scholly

Is Apple tool open or closed? 3rd jan 2022. Website says open and closes at 5pm? I am in Bettys Bay and don't want to ride for nothing. Phone says try kater again. I love shopping there.

Not a single sign up that says 'No dogs allowed' but they won't let me in. And above that, the selection of tools, in the range of sockets and spanners are fairly poor.
