Tool Kit
Hi all, As I progress through my course, I'd like to assemble a tool kit for when I can find work with a grown up  What tools would you suggest for a basic kit to use in the real world that won't have me having to borrow off of other chaps ? TIA Mo |

Re: Tool Kit
All you really need is:
i) A cup of coffee; ii) A right hand for scratching your arse; and iii) A left hand for recieving money. All jokes aside most domestic plumbing can be done with a basin wrench, adjustable spanner, water pump pliers and a few hundred yards of PTFE tape. Get them! |

Re: Tool Kit
What lives in my tray:
Bahco 8073 adjustable as well as 9031 and it's little brother 9029. 8" Stilson Stanley knife Pipe slice 15mm and 22mm Rad bleed key Rad hex key Screwdrivers Drill bits Footprints (big and small) Fittings, nuts and olives PTFE O-rings and rubber and fibre washers of various sizes 15mm guide for benders In the box : Basin wrench Junior hacksaw Cold chisel Lump hammer Claw hammer Allen keys Folding rule Tape measure Tap box spanner for backnuts. Smaller ones for monobock taps etc Pump pliers 14" stilson Small level 2x pushfit ends 15mm 2x pushfit ends 22mm Boa strap wrench (never use it but as soon as I take it out i'll need it, guaranteed!) Lead-free solder Fernox water hawk Solvent cement Flux Wire cleaning brushes 15mm and 22mm Large screw drivers Immersion box spanner 22mm guide for benders Pipe cutters Bending springs (for two parrallel bends which need differing radii to look tidy) I think that's it for my tool box. There's other stuff like long level, blowlamp, drills etc but that's all I think think of in terms of hand tools. |

Re: Tool Kit
Take a look at TotalToolBox.co.uk
This is what we show our students as to what they should have in their toolkits as wet plumbers/tilers/plasterers The products are still being added, but if nothing else, use it as a guide as to what you should be having in your toolkit. All the items have been tried and tested on site, and they are not just a mass random selection of tools that most web sites put on, leaving you with a headache trying to work out what you will need  |
