Hokel Machine Supply

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

This place has everything you need with the best employees

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!

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

Hokels is the go-to place in Ames for the more serious hardware and supplies you won't 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 there's that.
