Decent Tools

Decent Tools is based in the Kalyan Complex, which is on the Gazdar Scheme Bhatar Ram Chowk Road. We are directly opposite Khira Nagar. It’s a pretty active neighborhood with a mix of people living and working here. Our shop is just one of many in the complex, but we’ve managed to carve out our own little space over the years. The shop floor is always a bit cluttered with boxes of various tools and hardware. We don't have a lot of room for a fancy showroom, so everything is just out there for people to see. The Ram Chowk area can get very busy, especially in the evenings when everyone is heading home, so we get a lot of foot traffic then. I spend a lot of time behind the counter, checking the stock levels and talking to the people who drop by. Some of them just want to browse, while others are looking for a very specific bolt or wrench. The walls are lined with pegboards where we hang the smaller items. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are inside at once. We don't really do anything complicated here. We just show up, open the shutters, and help whoever walks through the door. It’s a decent enough way to make a living, and we like being part of the local scene.
