Fakhari Hardware & Tools

If you walk down Udhna 8th Main and turn at the 14th Cross, you’ll find our little shop, Fakhari Hardware & Tools. We have been in this spot for a while, and the shelves are pretty much packed from the floor to the ceiling with all sorts of metal bits, screws, and hand tools. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than two people are inside at once. I usually spend my mornings checking the inventory and making sure we didn't run out of the common stuff like drill bits or heavy-duty hinges. This area gets quite busy with local workmen and people trying to fix things in their own houses. We don't have a computer system that tracks everything perfectly, so sometimes I have to go hunting through the drawers to find a specific size of nut or bolt. It’s a bit messy, but we usually know where everything is kept. The neighborhood has changed a lot since we opened, but the need for good hammers and wrenches stays the same. We don’t do anything flashy here. It’s just me and a couple of helpers handing things over the counter and giving some advice on which tool works for which job. Sometimes the tea guy comes by and we take a quick break, but mostly we are just here from morning until the shutters go down at night. It is a steady life, just selling hardware to the people around Udhna.
