This information is about 10 years old. I don't think the situation
has changed drastically.
You MUST go to Kilgo's (on Sand Island Access Road, at the ewa end of
the harbor, diamond head of the airport and ewa of downtown, makai of
the freeway). It has a pretty good selection of woodworking tools and
machines. And it has an unbelievably great selection of marine
hardware, and of everything else.
BTW, if you don't understand the directions in parentheses above, you
will have a hard time navigating around Honolulu.

As far as the above patronizing comment, I don't need to know what the
pukka-pukka side of the road is, or the kumoniwannalaya end of the
island, for that matter.
I'll take my (albeit limited) experience of the island, filter that
thru Mapquest, and get almost anywhere I need to be.
I'm just rolling with the punches....after knowledge of an INTERSTATE
highway on an island(can't even have an intrastate hwy without a lot of
bridges), I can deal with just about anything King K's atoll has.
Mahalo nonetheless

There is/used to be a store on Beretania between Kalakaua and McCully.
Makai (ocean) side of the street, can't recall the name but check the
telephone book there.
Depending on what sort of products you want, there is also City Mill on
Nimitz H'wy in Iwilei near downtown. They are more lumber and general
handtools.
If you want koa lumber, look up Saunder's Lumber.

I've also traveled plenty, which is precisely why I never miss Wal-Mart.
<G>
Stuff I can't imagine missing: crappy Chinese hardware & tools, edited
videos and CD's, "Ameriwood" furniture...
But then again, I don't go to Disney on vacation, either.

A trip to Walmart equated with a trip to Disneyland/world. Gimme a
break.
I'm proud to say I *never* go to Walmart. I know, that puts me in a
tiny minority, but fortunately the place I live has numerous other
options to patronize for what I need or want.
I used to travel a bit, and after a few months out of the US, I'd thinka
trip to Wal-Mart was like a trip to Disney Land.
