There are 3 hardware stores in Puerto Jimenez.
Grupo Materiales

Grupo Materiales has a good selection of tools, power tools, nuts, and bolts. In the whare house, it has everything to build or repair your house or project. Brian is the manager. Their prices are usually the lowest in town. It is a good idea to check out all three hardware stores for prices.
I was looking for a barbecue grill. At Grupo Materiales, they were $40.00 cheaper than the other stores.
Grubo Materiales is located on the first street to the right coming into Puerto Jimenez. You will go past Pali, the INS building, and the bus station. Keep going another 30 meters, and you will see it.
Colono

Colono Hardware Store is best for paint. They also have a yard that has everything to build a house or a project. Their prices are a bit more than Grupo Materiales.
Colono is located all the way up town. It is kitty corner with the BM grocery store, to the right.
The third hardware store, Lakos, is at the beginning of the soccer field. It has a great selection of hardened bolts and nuts. They also have a good selection of tools. I was there yesterday, and they had taps, a pretty nice store.
