Most important tools for plumbing

lemon_1 · 29 Sep 2018

Please discuss 'must have' plumbing tools and which ones you use. Mine are as follows:

Pliers: knipex water pump pliers. They always do the trick even in tight to reach places

Pipe slice: Rothenberger, they've never let me down.

Corded drill: Makita rotary hammer drill SDS+. I have to say this is the best drill I ever owned. Like knife through butter.

Cordless drill: Hitachi (came with two batteries). Pretty good battery life. I like it

Screwdrivers: I've got a set of draper screwdrivers which are pretty good.

Cable cutter: NWS cable cutter. It's awesome. 10mm shower cable ? not a problem

Multimeter: Kane, expensive but good.

Do you have pictures of your tools on the walls? Perhaps invest in a camper bed so you can always be close to your loved ones.

A lamp prick, 4 moleskins, half a pound of "Last Tango " tallow and a bent bolt. A set of bobbins a.k.a Thai beads.

@lemon_1 never have I seen such a crap selection of tools since silverline did a catalogue!

I would have thought a blow torch was essential....... but then I remembered how convenient press fit joints are to the busy plumber.

You must be a right pro with all that kit.

He might need a van, this van sounds about right. And the colour is suitable.
