Sridevi Tools

Sridevi Tools is located over at Ulsoor Manek Chowk 5. It’s a small place, packed with drawers and shelves full of stuff. If you walk in, you’ll see we have things hanging from the ceiling and piled up in the corners because there never seems to be enough room for everything. It’s dusty, but we know where most things are kept. People come in looking for specific parts or just a simple hammer, and we spend a lot of time digging through boxes to find the right size. Dealing with tools all day is hard on the hands, but it’s what we do. The shop has been in this spot for a good bit of time. Ulsoor is always noisy with traffic, and sometimes it is hard to hear customers over the bikes outside. We don’t really do any big advertising or anything like that. People just find us by walking past or hearing about us from a neighbor. It’s a straightforward business. We buy what people need and we put it on the shelf. Sometimes we run out of things, and it takes a few days for the next delivery to arrive. That’s just part of running a shop in this area. We drink a lot of tea while waiting for the next person to walk through the door. It’s not a glamorous life, but it keeps us busy and pays the bills. We just stay here until it is time to close the metal shutter.
