"I wanted to ask an older guy working there for a dial indicator, but I forgot its name"
"It's always a pleasure visiting the Busy Bee location at the West end location in Edmonton"
"I tend to buy more of my consumable shop supplies here, selection is usually good, and prices are reasonable"
"I just needed a simple dust collection system for my garage and was greated by a friendly scotsman who helped me find all the parts and fittings I needed to make it work"
"Saturday hours are posted as closing at 4pm on their door and online, we walk in at 3:41pm, NO greeting from old brunette cashier, instead she said “excuse me we close in 5minutes” we were puzzled as this doesn’t match their posted hours"
I wanted to ask an older guy working there for a dial indicator, but I forgot its name. Apparently I shouldn't have done that. He said, "you DID graduate high school...right?" They had the indicator I wanted but I decided to buy it on Amazon where I won't have to pretend to laugh at attempts at jokes that aren't funny.
It's always a pleasure visiting the Busy Bee location at the West end location in Edmonton. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and their pricing is typically better than average. I highly recommend this business for most of your wood and metal working tools and machines.
I tend to buy more of my consumable shop supplies here, selection is usually good, and prices are reasonable. If you are looking for high end woodworking hand tools, this isn't the place, but if you are looking for good prices on glue, sandpaper, clamps, etc this is a great place.
I just needed a simple dust collection system for my garage and was greated by a friendly scotsman who helped me find all the parts and fittings I needed to make it work. He didn't try to up sell me on anything but gave me all the information I needed.
Saturday hours are posted as closing at 4pm on their door and online, we walk in at 3:41pm, NO greeting from old brunette cashier, instead she said “excuse me we close in 5minutes” we were puzzled as this doesn’t match their posted hours.
Terrible! We bought a 20' Craftex Planer and it stopped working after 3 weeks. When we called the store they said to bring it in and they'll take a look at it as it's under warranty. This planer is about 800 lbs!!!! It was delivered on a
I asked for a 5/8's bushing for my dove tail jig. I was "given one". The packaging doesn't say size on it. Went home across town set everything up routed my wood only to find out they gave me a 7/16th's. Lost my receipt in the process of
Waste of time going in, no help whatsoever. Ready to buy a bunch of milling accessories and no one would help and since it’s all behind glass cabinets I couldn’t grab what I needed. Ordered all the same stuff on Amazon while in the store.
Very dissapointed with busy bee tools and shady business practices. I drove an hour to pickup my online order of a brand new Dewalt planer. When I got it back home and unwrapped it was obviously used for quite some time. The blades were
This place is a joke. First I called on Nov 26,2020 and asked are you open ? YES the person said. I drive in from Leduc County doors locked. Called again this time I asked why the doors were locked.. O where are only open for curb side
They should change their store hours to reflect when they actually close. Twice now I've left work early, rushed across town to purchase items (not browse), and twice now they were closed earlier than the posted hours. This has been a
First time in a Busy Bee store. Shopping for dust collector hose a several fittings. I'm from an hour and a half away from the store. Did not know hours. Manager came up and when I asked for a particular size fitting his reply was "we
I have shopped there a few times and found their staff to be friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Their prices are very competitive and they price match. What they dont have in stock they will bring in and notify you. As a
Please consider shopping elsewhere! Went in to see a thickness planer and salesman seemed like he didn’t want my business. Got the impression that he felt it wasn’t a store for women, but I asked questions he couldn’t answer. Did my
Went in to buy tooling for my lathe and look at milling machines. No one would help or give me the time of day I will assume because I am young. So I buy my tools online now. And bought my mill down the road at kms tools.
Service was great! Was just at KMStools and had no service. It was a struggle to have some simple prices checked. The Busybee staff was friendly and helpful from the moment I stepped through the door. Thanks everyone!!!
Well, my wife and I finally checked out this store. I can honestly say that we loved it. There prices are pretty competitive to any other place I have shopped for tools and woodworking accessories.
Placed a order for a welder.....took my payment. It went thew a few status changes to awaiting shipping. Just informed that they have no stock even tho their website says they do and it
Have to be mindful of pricing. often their sale price is other places regular price so I recommend people research the items they want to make sure its really a sale price.
I purchased a pack of BBT's house brand sanding discs today as they were a fraction of the price compared to the big brands. So far I am very satisfied with the performance.
Awesome! Amazing selection of tools from handyman to professional grade. The price I paid for my DeWalt planer was about $250 lower than the big hardware stores too! :)
First time shopper, staff were super helpful and knowledgeable. Lots of selection and great prices. Bought a Kreg pocket hole jig and saved over $30 compared to HD!
Walked in. Asked a question to a pair of employees having a conversation and they completely ignored me. Actually acted like I wasn’t there. Absolutely disgusting.
We have come to this location 3 times now and every single time we have been met by friendly staff. Store is clean and we were able to purchase what we needed.
One of those great places to shop if you are a woodworker, with new and exciting things scattered throughout the store.
Very knowledgable. Great service both before sales and after sales. Fantastic product line up with great pricing!
Pretty pleased with the service and knowledge of the team at Busy Bee when looking for a new cabinet saw.
Stopped in for some vacuum hose and was really impressed with the prices and selection.
Knowledgeable staff, very helpful. I went ahead and bought the 13" crafted planer.
Good to see some of this in person rather than just on the website. Helpful staff.
Very friendly and helpful when choosing tools and evaluating different options
Vert knowledgeable and helpful, really good price on name brand tools
Very helpful. Found what I was looking for. Highly recommended.
Got lots of supplies and staff are pleasant and helpful …
Great customer service (very patient) and fantastic selection
Eldon helped me pick up a new table saw. Very helpful!
