Hey all,
First post here, am an avid DIY'er and I'm putting in my mother-in-law's bathroom this weekend, this will be the 3rd bathroom that I've put in, however, I always get by with the poor tools that I have.
In your experience what would you say are essential tools?
I'm also looking to buy...
Hi All
Looking to purchase a press fit tool and considering many brands. I don’t do a lot of pipe work, so don’t need a heavy duty one. Hot works are becoming a thing of the past.
Any recommendations?
Anyone used the nylon guides eg

Say there more durable than the alu ones any thoughts ?
I know this is off topic.
However my car petrol door/ cover has come off. It needs gluing back on. I have tried gorilla epoxy glue. But it keeps falling off. It's plastic that I'm trying to glue.
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks
My Irwin pipe bender has lost the retaining nut for the central bolt and the 12mm we have on site aren't the right pitch.
Does anyone know what type of 12mm nut to get?
Irwin don't, I've asked.
No replaceable parts on their benders.
After the plumber changed the expansion vessel, the boiler was leaking even worse leading it to being condemned. It is quite old, so I suspect it was on its last legs anyway. Still, he was banging it quite a lot, and I just wanted to check there was a good reason for him to do so. Thanks.

Dear all just bought this and tried to install yesterday.
Item is rubbish. Washer missing from bt which is needed to stop bolt turning. Other 3zwasher badly made and don't got bolt heads.
Spent ages making own new washer and hammering bits to fit washers.
In hindsight should have returned...
I work for a company that makes silicone dispensers and we're running a small focus group in Hungerford (UK) on 14th June to get feedback on some new products. If you have any tips on how to find local plumbers who can help, that would be great.
We're offering free lunch and a free cordless...
Hi guys
I have been asked to install a new electric shower at a property. The customer is saying her old one has no power. She has a combi boiler so can’t fit a power shower and the original shower only has a cold water feed.
I am looking at investing in a rothenburg flow cup.
Are they any good...
Hi, I have a Hansgrohe T30 thermostatic cartridge (98282000) that I need to clean or replace, but I can't remove it. I've spent ages Googling this, but I just can't find the right tool to help - it's probably a custom Hansgrohe tool. Can anyone guide me? Thanks!
Never seen that type of ratchet wrench before...

I don't live near a city and need to figure out how many rods of 56% I need to solder 3" copper to copper and come copper to stainless steel. I thank you for your time.
I’m moving from USA to the UK and with my tools is my Milwaukee ProPress gun. I am under the assumption that I will need to leave the 1/2” 3/4” and 1” jaws in USA and buy new 15, 22, 28 jaws in the UK unless someone here might know if the imperial jaws will press metric fittings too?
Thanks in...
