Where to buy hardware tools in Buriram?

[smoooth2]

This week VRH stainless steel bathroom and kitchen fittings have arrived at Buriram Ruangsangthai. A 12 year warranty on taps was a pleasant surprise for my staff. They are in disbelief over the 99 year warranty on the stainless 304 safety grab bars. A product you hope you do NOT need, but certainly might consider is how to rid your Buriram House or farm of birds who want to nest in places that cause danger and property damage.

Could be tricky trying to get a refund in 99 years time ... especially if the guy asks for a receipt of purchase

Receipt ??

Ummm ... sorry Jack ... my great grandfather bought these hand rails back in 2014 and was promised a 99 year warranty

I wish as a business owner who serves the public, that more companies would stand by and guarantee house building products sold in Buriram. It is a matter of personal pride that I seek out and stock major brands that will in fact supply my store and my customers, both Thai and Expats with spare parts and actual service during the warranty period. I have made it a point for any salesman to use his phone and show me photos taken that day by his co-workers of the office, warehouse, repair center and PARTS DEPOT of any new brand that approaches Ruangsangthai. They all seem to have the APP "Line" and can in a few minutes show me if they are "real" with spare parts or just a "marketing company".  Now VRH is the "real deal" with a sterling reputation since being founded in 1972. While TEKA of Germany offers a 75 year warranty on new stainless steel sinks, I am going to also place my trust also in VRH to honor the 99 year warranty. The "P.C." who is the VRH salesperson on the VRH payroll stationed inside of Ruangsangthai will assist my customers with any warranty replacements and you can see me at my open desk if you get sort of a "run around" on any return, refund, or replacement on ANY product in my store. Isaan House Building materials retail merchants have a negative reputation on the handling of returns or replacements and I wish to model my refund policy on Costco, Home Depot or Lowe's.  You can see the history of VRH fittings on this youtube video in English. Receipts can fade over time, but memories of which store owners treat you and your family fairly will remain intact.

Makita Power Tools and Maktec Power Tools will be joined by Milwaukee Power Tools, Jupiter Power Tools, DeWALT Power Tools, Stanley Tools, and Hitachi Power Tools at the February 13 through February 17 "Buriram Open Day" held inside Ruangsangthai and in a very large tent in the front parking lot on Highway 2074. Jet Tools will bring in additional wood working tools for the Buriram Home Expo. Several brands of air compressors will be on show and sold for special prices during the Buriram Home show. Perhaps you could limit the adult beverages prior to operating power tools at this Expo held at my family owned Builders Merchants.  Thank you: Mr. Pichai

Good Luck Pichai, you deserve it, Unfortunately for me I live 90km away otherwise I would attend.

Tommynew: If you do get a chance to visit my builders merchants store in Buriram either during the 5 day Expo or on any day of the week, please bring over any name brand power tools or lawn mowers or brush cutters that might need minor or major servicing. If the parts are in stock it is often very possible for a two hour repair turn around time in the tool repair department.  During the 5 day Expo you can enjoy free Pizza prepared on site by Mossimo and his wife Dtong or free Thai food prepared by the Thai staff of Jack's resort.

The Managing Director of the Hitachi Koki Tool Corporation was in Buriram today and yesterday. He spent real time at my store discussing the repair service center and availability of new Hitachi models for Buriram. He speaks English as well as Japanese. Mr. Kazumi Hoida assured me and my tool department manager than Hitachi will send any power tool or garden tool that Hitachi has in Thailand to Ruangsangthai. He also indicated that three models would be at the Buriram Home Expo and he is a man of his word. Kwai Thong and Auto Mac Tools were offering good warranty periods and booth technical staff who can speak English during the Expo.

Sunday the managing director of the largest importer of DeWALT and Stanley Tools visited Ruangsangthai during the Buriram Home Expo. He has ordered Ruangsangthai a new Stanley hand tools display for an expanded selection of Stanley hand tools including the FatMax tools that are imported to Thailand. I told him the DeWALT table saw was quite costly compared to the wood shop tools I offer from Jet Tools.

Your place is turning into one of the best stores around. !!

I only bought stuff for a few hundred Baht but made note of what is available through this store. Met Mister KamalaBob again and will be visiting again when I restart seriously building next month (for the last time in my life, I hope). I liked the photovoltaic cells and the Hitachi display.

Thank you to all the Buriram Expats Forum members who have visited my family store and made comments on this forum. I wish to announce that all eight of my ready mix concrete trucks are booked solid for the next three days for deliveries to the brand new Toyota Auto and Toyota Truck Dealership that is being built one kilometer from Ruangsangthai on Highway 2074 heading towards Phutthaisong. I have eight sober Buriram store staff working to build new retail displays for LED lighting and Q-Con autoclaved wall blocks and door lintels during the 2015 Songkran Festival period. The store is not open today, but will re-open on Thursday morning April 16 at 8:30am.  Normal building materials deliveries and normal ready mix deliveries will commence again on Thursday April 16th.  Normal water pump installations and plumbing repair services for Buriram will resume on April 16, 2015.

[davureborn]

Q-con lintels? Ok for a 10cm block wall? 140 and 110cm openings? See you soon. ...
Happy Songkran.

Due to the increase in English speaking expats who have elected to drive out of their way to my family owned builders merchant store in Buriram, I have recently hired two more Americans to help serve the Buriram expat community. Mr. Nop is a Thai citizen who moved to California when he was in grade school. He has served in the United States Navy, and understands and speaks both Thai and English. I've hired an experienced English teacher, Mr. Moses, who is a California born US citizen born of  Mexican American parents who speaks English and Spanish. I am sending Miss Jang to Bangkok to learn more about swimming pool equipment sales and poor chemical sales. I sent Mr. Bob to Bangkok for a weekend in May to learn more about Honda lawn mowers, generators, brush cutters at the Honda Power Products Seminar. I've had our 145 team members put more effort into cleaning the store and to strive for better delivery experiences. I can now offer native English speakers on duty 7 days a week to assist the valued customers of Ruangsangthai. I do now have a uniformed security guard to check receipts as some Makita Tools had to be recovered from a Buriram Pawn Shop last month.

You know what? I took my wife to the last display of tools in April and she came away convinced that the only reason that I go there is because of the girls as shown in the fotos above.
I am virtually forbidden from spending more than 10 minutes in the place and my visit today resulted in much pouting. She is a great girl but jealousy (she talks about knives and ducks) is a part of her.
I met Mr, Nop, nice guy, good luck to him.
I also noticed the pepped up security, pity that that is necessary, I had to search for my ฿160 receipt.
