Brooksvale Artisans — Local services in Hamden

If you are looking for vintage tools, machines, or any industrial items, materials, parts, work benches, or any of the thousands of incredible things ,then this place is absolutely amazing! Just know that this is not Ikea or Harbor frieght- the vast assortment of items here at brooksvale artisans are dusty, dirty, and stacked and piled in a way that those who know the awesomeness of what we have can appreciate. We go far and get dirty ourselves in finding and aquiring these items and we pride ourselves in being able to tell you the purpose, and history , of everything we offer. We are here for those of you who appreciate and love what we have and for those people who appreciate finding and buying the exact tool , work bench , or machine, that they need for their business to get the job done. Lastly, for those of you like the obnoxious and belligerent woman who threatened us with horrible reviews on every social media platform today because SHE mistakenly read information wrong and could not have things as she demanded- well, hopefully you and your therapist can work on your bitterness and anger and sense of entitlement. If you work your issues out, and your therapist thinks it's ok for you to return to the scene of your meltdown, come on back and I'm sure we can come to terms on the item you so much wanted.

I also wanted to buy some little unique tools and he started to harass me and question if I even needed them or knew what they were. Unprofessional. He has no reason to be in the salvage...

I visited this warehouse based on their posting on FB marketplace of shop stools I was interested in. I messaged the seller to confirm availability. The actual stools available looked nothing like the ones in the photo. I spent over an hour searching through the dust, rust, and mold-covered heaps of ancient machinery (with the help of a very nice gentleman - not the owner) to find even a couple that looked even remotely close to what I saw in the photo. No luck. Most were missing legs, feet, and needed to be cleaned of grease. The stools that were available were wildly overpriced and not at all...
