Plumbing Tool Box



Hello Dear Friends!

In today's episode we will like to introduce you guys to the plumbing tool box. Sometimes customers are curious and like to know what is inside of our toolbox and so here are a few of the tools that we carry with us:


1) Pipe Wrench: These wrenches are used for a wide variety of applications. There is a type that can be used on pipes that are close to the wall or for seized joins, or for tight spaces and odd angles. Pipe wrenches have been a tool always identified with plumbers and for a good reason.














2) Basic Wrench: Basic wrenches are used to replace/repair old faucets and are always simple to use.















3) Hose cutter: You use this tool to cut copper tubing to the perfect shape and size.














4) Hack saw: This tool is used to cut metal and plastic pipes.





















5) Propane Torch and Solder: Indispensable in our tool box, it will be greatly useful for soldering copper water pipes.





6) Slip-Joint Pliers: This is a handy tool that will make it easier to tighten and loosen pipes, nuts, bolt, and pumps.
