Vaishno Circlips & Shims

Our shop, Vaishno Circlips & Shims, is tucked away in Karol Bagh on Hari Singh Nalwa Street. The exact number is 1370/21/20. If you have ever been to Karol Bagh, you know how narrow and crowded the streets are. We specialize in very small, specific parts like circlips and shims that mechanics and builders need. These aren't things you find in a regular hardware store. We have thousands of them organized in tiny drawers and plastic bins. Sometimes a customer comes in with a broken piece and we have to find the exact match by measuring it with a caliper. It takes a lot of patience. The street outside is always full of people pushing carts and motorcycles weaving through. It gets very noisy during the day. I’ve been sitting at this same counter for years. The lighting inside isn't the best because the building is old, but we know where everything is kept. We don't do any big advertising or anything like that. People find us because they need a specific size that nobody else keeps in stock. It is a niche business, I guess you could say. My father started this and I just kept it going. We have some old metal chairs for customers to sit on while we look for their parts. It is a simple life in a very busy part of Delhi.
