Hiya,

I have just signed up on here, so new to all this : S
I have signed up to this to c if n e of u can help me.

My bf is a training plumber and will be qualified by christmas!

Its his bday soon and i would like to get him tools in order to help him out with his plumbing.

could any body tell me what he would need? where i can get them? etc

any help would be appreciated 🙂

Thanks
 
you could buy him a blow torch. not a b&q job as they are no good, and can't be used upside down.

oh my 🙁
thank you so much for helping me btw. 🙂
I thought id best of get help before going of and buying things that were no good or just usless!
 
have a look around the net for plumbing tools but good ones don't come cheap, and always buy good quality as they will last.

come back if you get stuck.

i can see they are expensive 😱 lol
i will search the net for the tools you have listed for me.
like u say though good doesnt come cheap.
you have been such a great help!
i never thought anyone would help me out but im so glad you did.
thanks 😛
 
Does he not have tools already ? be careful you dont get him something he already has

he has a few tools but atm he just uses the tools that his corse supply him. trouble is when he completes his corse he wont have them, so i want to help him to start getting everything he needs.
 
If you have a few quid you could try power tools - definatly going to float his boat more.

Screwfix do a double Dewalt drill set for £87 which will definately put a spring in your bf's step!

Something he will use every day on the job.

trying to get him started with his 'collection' lol

how useful is that set for him then?
yer i could afford it, comes under what i intended to spend so i may buy him a few little things as well to go with that if its worth buying.
 
the set is great and will be a mainstay in his arsenal of tools. Plus dewalt tools will give him a testosterone rush that he won't be able to deny.
