Visiting American tool stores

Visiting American tool stores

America has two big tool stores. One is called “lowe’s”, the other is “homedepot”. They are in close proximity to each other, convenient for people’s comparative shopping.. Both of them are chain stores nationally.

When I was new in the United States to live, in suburb of residential apartments, there are the two American tool stores. My English was not good at that time, didn’t know these various American tools at all, and what they are used for. 

I knew to use vacuum cleaner, and used dishcloth to clean furniture as I did at home. I didn’t expect I could buy a variety of cleaning tools for sanitization which save my time and manpower when doing household works.

Especially after bought the house, I had been always rushing off my feet every day. By chance I helped a Chinese friend to clean the new house. Though this was to help the friend, this voluntary labor was really a revelation to me.

This friend bought a lot of cleaning tools for sanitization such as the tools of glass cleaners, ceramic tile cleaners, ceiling fan cleaner. With the assistance of these cleaning tools, our housework of sanitization became relaxing and pleasing. Being inspired from it, I kept these cleaning tools in mind immediately, and start to purchase.

Since bought all kinds of cleaning tools, I started to release myself from the backbreaking housework. When I chat with my Chinese friends, we already communicate with each other what tools can save time and labor.

Take vacuum cleaner as example. Whether it can clear up the ground or not, it depends on the efficiency of vacuum cleaner itself. For housework, the right saddle must be set on the right horse. When taking part in some party, I observe all kinds of tools carefully. Seeing some new household supplies, asking for the advice of its usage, where to buy, used for what. Thus, I gradually bought various tools. For example:Americahas automatic mechanical can opener. It is very convenient to open cans with it.

The high cost of American labor, promoted the prosperity of American tools. As long as the outfit is ready, it would save your time, manpower and you would be unworried to do anything. Lots of Americans move house by themselves. Renting some tools for the movement, they can do it by themselves. American tool markets are very prosperous. There are a variety of tools. As long as you are willing to use your brains and hands, they will help you achieve the goal.

Few hourly employees are seen here, maids for taking care of the old as well. American’s hand-on ability is strong. Plus the assistance of these labor tools, those time-consuming and painstaking work becomes easy and relaxing.

When Chinese housewives stay together, they often discuss what to buy to clear rooms. If there’s a carpet-cleaner machine at home, you can clear it easily. Many work which is supposed to need spending money, hiring peoples for inChina, can be done easily in US.

The Chinese here assemble furniture, cleaning up yards, doing housework all by themselves. They will prepare all kinds of laboring tools for cleaning courtyards, fixing houses, assembling furniture once they buy a house. American garages look just like big workroom. Americans repair their own cars, sprucing up houses as well.

As a matter of fact, the abilities of hand-on and thinking come into being by nurture. EveryAmericais a craftsman, which has much to do with the prosperity of American tool stores where there are lots of tools for sale. With these sufficient tools, everybody can do anything by himself.

The managing methods of American tool stores are flexible. The tools could be buyable or rentable. They also recommend casual labors. The service forms are diversified to meet the various kinds of demand of everybody. The sold tools, within one month, have guarantees of refund, replacement with the invoice. The services are very personalized.

There even have the tools for taking care of infants and babies. With these nursing tools, all the things can be done by one man.

Sometimes I sigh with emotion.China and the United States have different conditions. Watching American tool stores, we can see American diversified culture. Living in theUnited States, you will never cease to learn as long as you live.

Not Americans are all jack of all trades. It is the prosperity of American tool stores that make things easier to people. I often think, because Chinese labor cost is low, if we do everything by hiring others, the civil tool stores must be pretty depressed. So from this aspect,China should learn from America. One of the advantages with the high labor cost in US is to make people more diligent.

Wandering in American tool stores is a pleasing thing. Some of the personnel can say some simple Chinese, which has a lovely homely feel to us. That long lost cordial feeling is unforgettable.

In the past several years, with the consistent economic stagnation of US, It’s been the in-thing that Americans build, improve the internal and external environment of their homes by themselves. So the demand of American hardware market remains strong. Since 1992, the retail amount of American hardware tools is rising all the time. The sales of Wood and building materials dominates, then hardware, water pipes, heating and cooling appliances, household appliances, garden tools, electrical tools and the related accessories and parts, hand tools, sports and outdoor supplies etc. The seasons of sales are usually July, August of every year. According to the sales statistic of American hardware specialty stores, the sales amount of hardware if the biggest of all, then the water pipes, heating and cooling appliance, garden tools.
