Hi I have just started a SVQ Level 3 in plumbing in Glasgow

Any advice on where to start with regards to getting tools - I am hoping to slowly build up my own collection so that I can gradually add, but not sure exactly where to start ?

is it worthwhile buying cheaper options to begin with and eventually get more expensive tools?

thanks

Nadeem

Bahco wide opening adjustables, Irwin grips. Try and buy the best you can afford, some of my tools are 15 years old and still going strong.
