Mallikarjun Tools & Lubircants

We are based in the Kushaiguda and Ecil area, dealing mostly in tools and the various oils and lubricants that keep machines running. Our floor is almost always a bit slick with grease, no matter how much we try to sweep it. That's just the nature of selling lubricants. We carry a lot of different brands and types, from heavy engine oils to the thin stuff used for delicate instruments. The shop is full of barrels and jugs, and the smell of oil is something you just get used to after the first week. Most of our customers are from the nearby workshops or the industrial units around Ecil. They come in looking for something specific to stop a squeak or keep a gear turning. We spend our days loading heavy containers and checking our inventory lists. It’s physical work and your hands are never really clean, even after using the heavy-duty soap. The neighborhood is full of similar businesses, so we’ve made plenty of friends on the block. We don’t use any fancy sales tactics or anything like that. People know what they need, and we just help them find it on our shelves. It’s a straightforward way to spend the day, and we like the routine of it. We open up early to catch the morning crowd and stay open until the last of the local shops starts closing down. It’s just us here, working through the daily grease and keeping things moving.
