Question

I am considering going to Klingspor this weekend and wanted some opinions on which store is better stocked. I have been to the Hickory store and spent a lot of time wandering around. I have never been to the Charlotte store. So my question is; with about the same driving distance, and time from me; which store would be a better store to shop?

The Charlotte store now has a mini Rockler store inside it.

Hickory - I like the Charlotte store and will be going there this weekend. But the Hickory store seems to have more. One plus to the Charlotte store is that it now is a Rocker Assoc. store and does carry a lot of Rocker stuff.

I have not been to either the Charlotte or Hickory store but I believe that Hickory is headquarters so it seems to reason that that store would have more or be the biggest of the two.

Not familiar with the Hickory store, but, the Charlotte folks are nice and helpful. They've always had what I've been looking for, plus a nice display of larger tools also.

Tracy,
the Hickory store I think has more unless you need something from Rockler.

Hey Jim,does the "Rocker" stuff they carry include Spandex? Sorry,I could not pass that up!
