Hardcore Toolings

We’re located at Hardcore Toolings, which is B2 on the Peenya Osahalli Main Road. If you know the Peenya area, you know it’s a lot of factories and small shops like ours. The traffic on the main road can be a real pain during the morning rush, but once you’re inside the shop, it’s all about the tools. We’ve been working out of this space for quite a while now. It’s not a clean environment—there’s oil on the floors and the smell of coolant in the air. That’s just part of the job when you’re dealing with toolings. We handle a lot of different requests throughout the week. Some jobs are easy and some take a lot of trial and error to get right. We don’t have a big corporate structure or a bunch of managers telling us what to do. It’s just us figuring out the best way to cut or shape a piece of metal. We’ve had the same machines for years and they’ve served us well. Occasionally something breaks down and we have to spend the day fixing our own gear instead of working on orders. That’s life in a shop like this. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a glossy brochure or a big sign. We just keep our heads down and do what needs doing. The sun sets over the industrial sheds and we wrap up for the day.
