Gopi Tools Traders

You will find us at Shop No 1 in the Jaymangal Estate, which is located near the Shree Ram Estate on Gujarat Bottling Estate Road. We are right across from Jagatha in the Rakhial area. Gopi Tools Traders is basically a small shop that is absolutely stuffed with every kind of tool you can think of. We have hammers, wrenches, power drills, and boxes of hardware stacked so high that you can barely see the back wall. It is a bit of a maze in here, but we know exactly where everything is hidden. The road outside is always busy with trucks going to the bottling plant, so there is a constant hum of engines and horns. We keep the front of the shop open, so we get a lot of dust blowing in from the street. We don't have any fancy displays or a computerized billing system. We just use a large paper ledger and a calculator that has seen better days. Most of our customers are local workers and contractors who need a specific tool for a job they are doing nearby. We spend our time helping people find the right size of bolt or explaining how a certain tool works. It is a simple operation and we like it that way. There is a small fan on the counter that doesn't do much, but it’s better than nothing during the summer. We’ve been here in Rakhial for a long time and have seen many shops come and go.
