We don't have Murdock's. One of our alternatives is Atwood's, which tends to have more name brand merchandise than TSC, but not necessarily discounted. I'm not comfortable with my perceptions of quality at TSC, haven't looked at the hardware. I'll go to Atwood's for hardware, work clothing, feed and seed, parts (better hardware prices than Lowes, we don't have Menard's or Home Depot).
But when I need a good piece of equipment like a chain saw, I'll go to my Stihl/John Deere dealer, because they will take care of service, Atwood's doesn't discount the good stuff, hard to tell at Lowe's what is the good stuff, and TSC is not even selling it. Personal prejudice, over the years I've learned to prefer tools that last a lifetime over tools cheap to replace.
