Home Fix

This is a small shop in the basement of the luxurious Jem mall, but it has a pretty good selection of tools and parts. I was looking for a basic toolset for the home. The staff was eager to help and pointed me to the sets on hand, which were suitable. The whole experience was very simple and pleasant. I was able to get what I needed and get out fast with friendly service. The prices are decent for the area, but in general experience a bit of the endemic Singaporean inflation.

I grew up in a country where labor is very expensive. Therefore every village and town would have their own huge ikea size DIY stores, you can just buy anything and everything.
In Singapore it is often cheaper to call somebody to replace your lock, hang up a painting, paint a wall etc. basically everything around the house except for changing a light bulb, is outsourced. I have been in the need of good DIY stores though, because it’s also just fun to do it yourself.
However, after I went to home fix… i still am. Home fix is an upgraded neighborhood hardware store, which offers just a little bit more than your usual hardware uncle. The atmosphere is more professional though, the products are of branded quality and the products are displayed in an orderly fashion. If you are looking for something specific, I would advise to call them first before you find yourself disappointed..
