Rothenburger superfire 2
Grips
Adjustable spanners
Bss and pts are doing a very good deal ATM for most of this
Superfire 2, burn mat, bag, gas, grips £70+vat. That's cheap btw. And good quality
Pump pliers don't have to be Knipex but if you can afford them, lucky you! To start with you might prefer the price of Rothenbergers.
i think its only me and you still use foot prints here i dont know how anyone manages without 9 AND 7 inch FP' especially the smalller ones if your on domestic work pump pliers under a sink unit are a nightmareWhat age are you?
If you are a young lad and depending on how many plumbers other work at the place, just get some basics. A hammer, a couple of decent screwdrivers, 15 and 22mm pipe slices, a tape, a junior hacksaw a set of 9" footprints and a pair of pump pliars and a couple of adjustables. Put a mark on everything as someone will nick them. Don't bother with a gas torch for now. Most places will give you one if they are half decent.
If there are a few other guys there they will probably pass you some other tools and you can build up the rest to suit the work you are doing
I would not be without mine Steve

You will love them! Not as clumsy as pump pliers, but it will take a lot of practice to handle them properly! Can nip your fingers if you slip off a nut! :laugh3:well at 99p it wont matter if i dont get on with them but i thought i would see what everyone was raving about lol
