Essential Plumbing Tools

Step 1: Take the Plunge
Why pay a plumber thousands of dollars when you can easily do many jobs yourself? But you need the ultimate plumber’s kit, starting with the traditional plunger, snake and drain-clearing bladders.

Step 2: Safety First
Stock up on the safety essentials: gloves and glasses.

Step 3: Down the Pipeline
Get a basin wrench, a blowtorch and some solder for dealing with re-piping.

Step 4: Heavy Hardware
Grab some adjustable pliers, an adjustable wrench, pipe cutter, pipe wrenches and universal stem attachments.

Step 5: Sealed Up
Add some plumber’s putty to seal in water.
