Hannan Tools Centre

Our shop is on the first floor of the new complex on Krishnarajendra Road. It’s right there on the BEML Main Road in HAL 3rd Stage. Being upstairs makes it a bit quieter than the ground floor shops, but you still hear the bikes buzzing by. We’ve got a lot of tools packed into this space. It's not a huge showroom, so things are a bit cramped sometimes. We moved into this new complex a couple of years back. Before that, we were in a much smaller shed. This place has better lights at least. We keep our stock on the shelves and try to keep it organized, but sometimes it gets messy when we are busy. Most of our regulars are mechanics or guys from the nearby factories. They know to come up the stairs and turn left. We keep the shutters open from morning until late evening. My brother helps me out with the heavy lifting. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just find us by word of mouth or by seeing the sign from the road. It's a plain shop with plain counters. We use an old ledger for most of our notes. The tea guy comes by at eleven and four. If you need something specific, you might have to wait a minute while we dig it out from the back. It’s just how we run things here at number 98. No fuss, just tools and talk. We like it this way.
