Its Facebook page calls it "Your Trusted Hardware Partner for Three Generations" and "one of Penang's largest hardware shops", selling paints, building materials, plumbing supplies, tools and household essentials. Photos it posted on Google Maps (undated) show aisles of hand and power tools (Bosch, Akaido), locks and door fittings, a paint colour wall, ladders and an electrical aisle. That aisle holds Philips compact fluorescent and PL lamps, Osram and FSL lamps, many small items bagged under SunStar header cards, switch and socket plates, Eurosafe plug-in timers, extension sockets, torches, bins of PVC conduit bends and couplers, insulating tape, and coils of sheathed and single-core cable on the bottom shelf. Its Facebook page has announced that Makita tools are now available (post seen in October 2026). We saw no circuit breakers or distribution boards in the photos.

Electrical items
None of the brand dealer lists we hold names the store. What we know of its electrical range comes from an undated photo it posted on Google Maps, pictured above. The aisle in that photo holds:
- Lamps: Philips compact fluorescent and PL lamps, and Osram and FSL lamps.
- Wiring accessories: switch and socket plates, extension sockets and Eurosafe plug-in timers. Many small items hang in bags with SunStar header cards.
- Installation materials: baskets of PVC conduit bends and couplers, insulating tape, and coils of sheathed and single-core cable on the bottom shelf.
We saw no circuit breakers or distribution boards in its photos. For those, call first or try a dedicated electrical supplier such as Win Electrical & Hardware, Farlim, about 1.7 km away.
The rest of the store
Its other photos show aisles of hand tools and Bosch and Akaido power tools, locks and door fittings, a paint colour wall and ladders. A Jotun banner hangs outside. Its Facebook page has also announced that Makita tools are now available.
