Rockler Woodworking and Hardware - Torrance 20028 Hawthorne Boulevard, Torrance, CA 90503

"Went to pick up a new sander and some router bits. Employee was helpful as always. Found tue sander right away and picked up a couple bits but the 60 degree bits were way too much. They have been pricing that bit up because we need it for engraving. Definitely not worth $34 for that bit. Then when you go to check out, you have to deal with the mandatory up sale try for the ‘tool of the month’. I only go to Rockler now when I need something they have that no one has or in the rare times they are cheaper. I hate getting the up sale at the register. So annoying and insulting. ‘Hey, I know you are a woodworker but let me seep you this silicone glue brush no one other than a new woodworker would use’….’how about the 3 in 1 marking tool that will break within a month’. I’d rather go to other stores rather than being treated like an idiot."

"Rockler Torrance always delivers a first rate customer service experience, products are just as good. Love this store."

"I’m a few years into woodworking as a hobby. The guys at Rockler are extremely knowledgeable and helpful in helping me build my shop. They always help me with recommendations on how to build my projects. They are a great resource for woodworkers!"

"Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Joe is a hoot!! Love the guy!!"

"The Torrance Rockler is an absolute gem of a store! Having passed by it many times over the course of a year, my husband and I finally went inside as he had a project idea in mind. We came to learn that Rockler offers daily courses and workshops with anything from cabinetry essentials, to ring turning, to epoxy charcuterie boards. Truly anything you've ever thought would make a great gift is available for you to make yourself at this store. So far, I've taken a Bluetooth box class, an opal ring turning class, and a pen turning class. The projects available are stunning and I wish the website had pictures to accompany the class descriptions because I truly had no idea how beautiful these projects would be. Each class is limited in size (between 1-4 people) so you get unlimited personal attention. I've taken classes from Willie, Lee, Char, and Tom and couldn't be happier with how much I learned and how much fun I had. With the ring making, especially, I couldn't believe how easy Char made the process and how beautiful the final product was! The people here are so wonderful. I've had wonderful interactions with everyone who works there and, in addition to the instructors I've named above, both Joe and Paul have also been super helpful. Honestly, sometimes I stop by this store just to chat with Willie and Lee because they are so cool. They never try to sell us on anything, but my husband and I can't help but leave with a purchase each time. You can come in here with literally any question about a project you've got in mind and they will make sure you are headed in the right direction."
