I am lucky enough to have one of these 3 miles from my home.
They get a lot of my business over the BORG because of several factors.
One is the courtesy I get shopping there. I'm not in the door 3 mins. & I'm asked twice if I need any help finding anything.
Naturally, since I go there so often for stuff I already know where everything is. They even know me by sight.
Anyway, I went there today for an oddball drill bit. I had to do a bit of looking, but I found it. I need a 27/64" for making my Gatsby pen kits.
I looked around online and found one on Amazon for big bucks, and PSI had one for $24 or so. Too expansive for me.
I got one for $5 today, made in the USA.
Pretty sweet overall.
Some of their prices are slightly higher than the BORG, but you get service & usually they have it in stock.
If you have a local Mom & Pop hardware store, consider yourself very lucky. They are going the way of the horse & buggy.
