Powering the Old Pueblo Since 1962
In the Sonoran Desert, where the heat and dust can take a toll on any machine, having reliable outdoor power equipment is essential for keeping a Tucson landscape in shape. Since 1962, ACE Hardware Stores, Inc. has been the backbone of the community, serving three generations of Tucsonans. President Joseph Findysz practically grew up in the aisles of the first-ever Ace in Arizona, and that deep-rooted history translates into a neighborly expertise that you simply can't find at a standard big-box retailer.

With eight locations across the city, from Downtown to the Southeast side, we combine the personal touch of a locally owned business with the massive support of a global cooperative to ensure your projects—large or small—stay on track.

Professional lawnmower repair service at Ace Outdoor Power Equipment Sales & Service, Tucson. My poor Husqvarna chainsaw and weed whacker had sat for almost 2 years and were in need of service. They’re busy, and it may take approximately 3 weeks for them to complete the repairs but let me tell you, it’s worth it! Picked up both tools and was very happy with their repairs and the charges. Great crew to assist you and answer questions. They take the time to explain what they did.
