Vijwin Toolings

Vijwin Toolings is over at 866 Kamakshi Palya. We are right on Dr Ambedkar Road, pretty close to the Kamakshipalya Police Station. Having the station nearby makes the area feel a bit more orderly, though the road is always packed with vehicles and people shouting. We do a lot of tool work here. You can hear the machines running from the sidewalk if you walk past. It’s a constant grinding and whirring sound that doesn't stop until six. We wear earplugs sometimes, but mostly we just get used to the noise. The shop has been at this address for a long time. The walls are stained with oil, and there are metal shavings in the corners that never quite go away no matter how much we sweep. We work on various bits of hardware and custom tools for small factories. It’s heavy work. My hands are usually stained black by the end of the shift. We have a small metal bench near the front where we talk to customers. Usually, it’s just local guys needing a repair or a specific part made. Ambedkar Road is always dusty, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the equipment so it doesn't jam. It’s not a glamorous setup, just a functional one. We don't have a fancy website or anything like that. People just know where to find us. We open the doors early and stay until the job is done.
