Sapra Tools & Hardware

Sapra Tools & Hardware is over at H 90/A in Kirti Nagar near Angoli Mala. It’s a big space filled with heavy stuff. We have rows of hammers, saws, and power tools. The floor is concrete and has some cracks in it from dropping heavy items over the years. It’s not the prettiest place but it’s functional. We have a counter where people bring their items to pay. There is always a layer of sawdust or metal shavings somewhere. We get a lot of contractors and local builders coming through the door. They usually know exactly what they want so we don't have to talk much. We keep a logbook for the regular customers who pay at the end of the month. It’s an old-school way of doing things but it works for us. Kirti Nagar is a busy area for hardware and timber. You can hear saws buzzing from the shops nearby. We don't have a big marketing budget or fancy displays. We just put the stock on the shelves where it fits. Sometimes it’s hard to find things if we haven't put them away properly. We just spend the day moving stock and helping customers. It’s a bit of a workout. At the end of the day, we roll down the shutters and head home. It’s simple. We have a heavy iron gate that we lock up tight every night before we leave for the bus stop.
