S B Tool Sharp

Our shop, S B Tool Sharp, is located at 86/3 Bommasandra, right along the Kakarapar Bypass Road. We’re in the Sri Rama Reddy Building. If you’re driving on the bypass, you’ve probably passed us plenty of times. The work we do is pretty specific. We spend all day sharpening edges and making sure tools are actually useful again. It’s a sparky job. There are always bits of metal flying around, so we’re always wearing goggles. The building is right near the road, so the sound of traffic is constant. We’ve got a couple of big grinding wheels that make a lot of noise. It’s not the kind of place you’d want to wear nice clothes to. We’re usually covered in a fine layer of gray dust by lunchtime. We don't do much marketing or anything like that. People just know us because we’ve been in Bommasandra for a long time. The Sri Rama Reddy Building is easy enough to find. We have a small area where people can drop off their dull blades and saws. Then we get to work. It’s repetitive, sure, but there’s something nice about seeing a blunt tool get its edge back. We just stay busy and try to keep up with the pile of work on the bench. We usually have a radio playing in the background but it's hard to hear over the grinders. It’s a basic setup that has worked for us for years.
