Good place for equipment but they close at 7pm which does not give you time to get off work and go shop.

I actually like Northern Tool and would give them 5 stars but their store closes at 7pm in Des Moines during weekdays. For anyone that has a day job and actually has to work more than 8 hours it is very hard to get to a hardware store that closes this early compared to the other big chain store like Menards and Home Depot that stay open till 9 for 10 pm during the summer.

My daughter works there. She told 3 of the managers she was having a medical emergency ( a miscarriage) and they told her to get over it because it happens to all women and told her if she left she was fired. She was doubled over in pain and called me crying as she was bleeding. They refused to let her leave because they hadnt done the lunch rotation. I called her several times and told her to walk out. She sent me a picture of her she had blood all over her pants from the miscarriage. I left work and met her at the store to take her to the hospital. She is scheduled for surgery tomorrow (Friday) and they told her they expect her to be at work on Saturday.

Great place for your tool person of the house. Only issue is they run out of sale items quite a bit. Tons of selection. Go build something. Updated. Still great items for your project at very good values.

Wouldn’t honor the one day shipping for 20 miles and under. I live according to google maps 19 and 20 miles away unless you take the longest way possible. Don’t advertise something then not honor it.

Ordered and paid for a trailer wheel and tire in the store and waited for nearly a month for it to arrive at the store. Today I find that the order was canceled. Called the store and was treated rudely by the store manager with no explanation of why the cancellation. My credit card has not been credited at this point so Im mor than upset. My advice is if its not in the store go elsewhere.

I have been a customer for many years. I showed up yesterday and was greeted by a mask required sign. I respected their private property rights, left without entering the store, went home and ordered the trailer parts I needed from someone else.

Was at location 1 week prior and Leroy was very helpful and met all of my needs. Go back week later Leroy was not there. It was one of the worst experiences Ive had shopping. Sale associates acted like I was bothering them. Found bench grinder but couldnt find the rest of the tools I was looking for. So I just WALKED out of the horse and pony show. Definitely will not be back. Total joke

Today my husband was in your store. He goes oftenWhen he was cashing out the gal at the register looked at his hat (Marine Corp) and asked if he earned it. This is the 3rd time it has happened. Today he said do you need to see my DD214 or dog tags. Her response was you have no idea what people do to get discounts. You lost a good customer and should be ashamed that you employ people that make comments like that to our veterans!! She should be fired!

The lady at the register was very rude. I was returning an item. She got upset with me and when I asked what was wrong she said nothing and kept being short with me. Most of the time when I go here they are ok. But today it made me feel unwanted and upset. The worst experience ever.

Went there looking for a 55 gal barrel hand pump. Well not much for options, cheap aluminum, rotating one, or a plastic one, yea plastic! I bought the plastic one not knowing it was plastic. Seen the handle design and thought they curved it to make it stronger. Thats why i bought it. I mean for 75 bucks? Check before u buy!

Great service. Cool products. Lucas was very helpful from the moment I walked in, he hooked me up with Levi, who found me everything I needed. All the staff seemed polite and eager to help. Was a good experience as it has been in the past as well. Thanks for helping me with my mower! Was so pleased with it and my other purchases! Exceeded my expectations!

I never write reviews, however I would give this negative stars if I could. Racist! Sexist! I was treated like a peace of dirt Asian little girl. I am an Asian American, Born and raised in West Des Moines, IA! How dare these people! And the Manager Terry (unsure of spelling?) was the WORST of ALL! SO belittling, condescending and just hateful. If Northern Tool knows whats best, they would get rid of this so called manager ASAP. I will never go here again, and if youre a decent human being and actually care about people regardless of how they LOOK, you would not either.

Came in, a worker named Dan asked if need help immediately, I showed him the parts, less than 4-5 minutes from the time I walked in to leaving with the proper parts. Incredible customer service, will drive the extra miles to get treated like that! Thanks guys!!

I have asked this store several times to stock more product of something that we purchase every two weeks and they refuse. Store associates are clueless and do not have any ability to help unless it is in the computer. The floor help is always concerned about their commissions rather than solving a problem. Not going back, hello Acme Tool.

Review №76

Purchased a power washer from them, took it home and as soon as it fired up there was water spraying out of the pump. Took it back and was told we could not return it, they had to make sure we didnt break it. We told them to we just purchased it but that did not matter. The manager Dale Heiny something told us they would replace the pump if we were not responsible for its defectiveness, but if they decide we were responsible we would have to pay for the repairs.My wife and I told him that we were not paying for anything more for the defective power washer and if they decide we are responsible to shove it up his @**.Got a call 2 days later saying they are ordering the pump for it. Needless to say we will not do any business with this company again and went and purchased Craftsman power washer from Sears. Northern Tools is not a place to buy anything.
