eTa DIY Trading, Bandar Tasek Mutiara: hardware shop with wiring cable and LED lights in Simpang Ampat
eTa DIY Trading is a hardware and DIY shop on the ground floor of 16–18 Jalan Tasek SS3, Bandar Tasek Mutiara, in Simpang Ampat. Most of its range is general hardware: tools, plumbing fittings, paint and locks. Photos on its Google Maps listing also show a full shelf of PVC cable coils and stacks of LED downlights. That makes it a practical stop in this area for small electrical jobs. A 2024 reviewer mentions “quite a large selection of hardware items” and reasonable prices.
