Jain Tools Co

Jain Tools Co is right in the thick of things in Chandni Chowk. We’re located in the Din Dayal Upadhyaya Market at numbers 59 and 60. If you’ve ever walked through these narrow streets, you know it’s a total maze. You have to push past crowds of people and avoid the carts being pulled along. Our shop is packed tight with tools of all shapes and sizes. We don’t have much in the way of floor space, so we use every inch of the walls, right up to the ceiling. It’s dark inside sometimes because the buildings are so close together, but we have enough lights to see what we’re doing. We spend our days helping people find very specific items. Someone might come in looking for a particular drill bit or a specialized wrench, and we usually have to go digging through the back to find it. The market is loud and smells of street food and old stone. We’ve been here long enough that we don't even notice the noise anymore. It’s just the background to our lives. We don't have a website or any of that stuff. People just know where we are, and they come in when they need something they can’t find anywhere else. It’s hard work, and the days are long, but there’s always something interesting happening right outside our door. We just try to keep the inventory straight and help the folks who wander in looking for help with their projects.
