An amazing business that provides an invaluable service to the tradesmen in our community!

This store is awesome. If you cant find what you need anywhere, check here. They have almost everything and it is all high quality.

They have pretty much any type of screw ,nut ,bolt, or anything you cant find elsewhere. Customer friendly and very helpful .

The hours are a bit stringent but they have a wide selection of screws at unexpectedly fair prices.

Very good store they have evrything, and good employees.

Fantastic service, these guys are experts! Derek built a critical specialty fitting that I couldnt find anywhere. Id give more than 5 starts if I could. These guys saved my week.Thanks!

Great place with a friendly knowledgeable staff! This place is so much more than just a welding supply store!

Lots of unique industrial tools and supplies.

I know very little about fittings dimensions and types. I came in with my parts, described what I was trying to do, and they were able to find parts to solve my problem within 10 minutes. At the cash register, they realized a way they could make it work with fewer parts, and dropped the price accordingly. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff!

Great place to go if equipment breaks

They always have what I need. Its pretty tight and crowded inside, but it has that neat small town hardware store feel. Very friendly and helpful staff.

This place has everything you need with the best employees

Hokels is the go-to place in Ames for the more serious hardware and supplies you wont find at Ace or Lowes. The front room is tiny and you may have to wait in line, but this is the place contractors and professionals go for their tools and supplies. Staff is good. Parking is nearly non-existent, so theres that.

Friendly, knowledgeable service. They sell you exactly what you need and dont try to push anything you dont.

This place seems to have an assortment of hard to find tools and replacement parts for machinery. There are no prices posted on any of the products so that is an inconvenient aspect of the visit. Prices seem to be on the higher end but they do carry mostly high end tools for Germany and Italy. Nice to see a local business in Ames sticking around such as this one. 4 stars if the prices were posted on the products.

One of my favorite businesses in Ames. I havent found anything yet that they dont have or cant get. They have some high quality tools, industrial gases, hardware, hydraulic hoses, and basically anything else you can think of from a machine supply/industrial supply/hardware store. The employees are friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. It seams like they really enjoy a challenge. They also sell fire extinguishers and can perform annual fire extinguisher inspections. There is a reason that they are always busy. Do yourself a favor and buy a pair of knipex pliers while youre in there.

Great place if you need Anything to do with tools great service

If they dont have it you dont need it! Helpful staff!

The best place for all your power tools, small parts, and industrial equipment.They have the best staff in the area - and excellent customer service.Hotel Machine Supply is the best in Central Iowa.

Court and good service.

Best machine shop around. They know their stuff. They have a team of the most knowledgeable employees I think Ive ever talked to. I always start here before shopping anywhere else for parts, machine tools, and small machine accessories.

Great place to pick up hardware and tools. The guys here know their stuff and are happy to help customers.

People all over the area consider Hoekels to be the first choice place for nuts, bolts and all associated items. The inventory is amazingly vast and the employees know what theyre talking about. The prices are extremely reasonable. Best game around.

Love this store. Always someone there waiting to help you right when you walk in the door. If not its only because they have multiple customers at once. Good prices too.

Hokel Machine Supply is my favorite. It feels like Cheers every time I walk in... because everybody knows your name. They will have what you need and if they dont, theyll find it for you. Nicest guys in Ames.

Tools, Bolts, bearings, hydraulic hoses & fittings, safety equipment, etc... On the rare occasion they dont have what youre looking for they can order it or theyll make some calls & get you pointed in the right direction. Great group of guys with a wide knowledge of hardware.

Where are you go for hard to find things

One of a kind place! Many varieties of industrial materials can be obtained right here! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Locally owned!

Busy old-fashioned hardware store that has EVERYTHING, helpful and friendly.

Always have what I need great service.

Great service and quick turn around time. Staff is full of knowledge and has a lot of advice when needed.

If you need something and no one else has it... Hokels probably has 10 of them... Great service and price

Super Store with incredibly knowledgeable people. Much greater variety than your corner store or big box stores!

These folks always have the parts on hand and fast, friendly service!

Best industrial hardware store with everything you need under one roof! Highly recommend this place.

They are always the best and know what theyre doing

Great selection

More depth than the big box stores.

Great place and great help any machine needs you may want great selection of tools

They sell all kinds of metal parts (e.g. springs, U-bolts, pipe bulkheads), O-rings, lubricants, and welding supplies (e.g. oxygen, acetylene, and helium cylinders). They also recharge and inspect fire extinguishers. Good prices.

Had a hose fitted with a new connector. They did great work, very fast and efficient, and the cost was under $6

They have just about any machining or fabrication hardware you can think of and every member of the staff that I have encountered knows what they are talking about. Prices are also competitive with Fastenal.

They always have what you need, and so few offer.

The have everthing and if the dont have what you need the order it for you.

Always willing to help and they have those oddball things you are looking for.

Great place for any tools you need!

Couldnt be friendlier or more knowledgeable.
