Reddiar Engineering Tools

Reddiar Engineering Tools is at No 160 on Broadway. If you’ve been to Broadway, you know how packed the streets are. It’s one of those places where you can find almost anything if you look hard enough. We’ve been in this building for many years. The walls are thick, and the ceiling is high, which helps with the heat. We deal with engineering tools mostly. The shelves are heavy with metal items and specialized gear. It’s a lot of weight for the old floorboards. We have customers who have been coming to us for decades. They know where we are and they know what we have. We don't use much technology here, just the basic stuff to get the job done. The paperwork is mostly kept in big ledgers. It’s a traditional way of doing things, but it works for us. Broadway is always loud, with people shouting and vehicles honking, but inside the shop, it’s a bit quieter. We spend our time checking the quality of the tools and talking to the regulars. Sometimes the rain floods the street a little bit, but we just put up the boards and keep going. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know us by our name and our location. It’s a steady business. We open the doors every morning and start by cleaning the counter.
