Amit Machine Tools

Amit Machine Tools is tucked away on Street No.3 in the Ghanshyam Industrial Area. We are just off Dhebar Road South, near Jalaram Chowk. If you know Rajkot, you know this area is full of workshops like ours. We deal with tools. All sorts of things for lathes and drills are kept on rows of shelves. It’s a bit cramped in here, especially when we get a new shipment in. Keeping track of it all is a task, and sometimes it takes a minute to find that one specific size someone is asking for. My father started this, and we just kept it going. Most of the guys who run the shops nearby are people we know. They drop in when they snap a tool or need something specific for a job they’re doing. We don't do much online; mostly people just walk in or call us up. We aren't fancy people. We wear work clothes and we talk plain. The tea man comes around twice a day, and that’s usually when we take a break. Otherwise, we’re busy counting stock or helping a customer figure out which tool will work for their machine. It’s a simple life but it keeps us on our feet. Sometimes we have to explain why a certain tool won't work for a specific metal, and being honest is the only way. Pushing sales isn't the goal, just giving people what they actually need. It gets dusty in the summer, but the fans keep us going.
