Top mail order site for household & DIY. Frustrating that I can no longer buy a chisel or a pen-knife here(!), but that apart, Hurst's are excellent. One of a now rare species of traditional hard-wa... See more

Hurst First
Going to a local store like Hurst’s, prove that goods can be bought at a competitive price compared to the ‘Big Boys’ and the internet.
I’m sure it’s not easy keeping existing stores viable on the Isle of Wight, but with such a good pricing policy, coupled with a superb, helpful customer service, if Hurst’s were to go, they would be sorely missed.
Use ‘em or lose ‘em!!
