Amsel is mainly a store for work uniforms, though it does have a section for inexpensive tools. In these kinds of stores, you never know what you might find. For summer in the woods, this would be a good moment to pick up a bug repellent hat with netting over the top.

You will be rewarded by low prices if you head all the way out here. Clothing brands like Big Bill, Big Al and Stanfield are here along with Terra, STC, Royer and Kodiak work boots (sizes 5 – 15), lots of gloves, cargo work pants and cushioned shoe inserts. There’s rain gear, a wall of work gloves, safety glasses, reflective material, and for those of you who must have them – red suspenders and pink hard hats.
