Plumbing tools

[850Rick]

Has anyone bought any recently,if you did what was it and was it good value for money.

Ive just bought a scraper for my drain rods lol

Don't use it down any drains. They jam in any loose joints and you can't get them out. The only thing they are good for is cleaning gutters.

Bosch multi tool, such a handy piece of kit.

I almost bought some CK gear the other day, was going cheap on Amazon but due to some useless tool operating a keyboard it turned out the prices were incorrect! Gutted is an understatement!

Looking at replacing a few bits soon though, love new tools!

Charles vet vac from tesco hundred quid ish. He's awesome. Had a call out to a customer with a pin holed rad. Water all over her tiled floor. He sucked so hard there was no need for a mop at all. The floor was actually dry when he'd finished. He fixes air locks and blockages too. I like him

 

[Kyle87]

Is that the one that's like a Henry. I'd end up talking to him. Put him in the front seat of the van with a seatbelt on and everything.

Little 4" circular saw, milwaukee combi drill, milwaukee impact driver and milwaukee site radio. All spot on.

 

[nickelarsed]

Yes it does get a bit like that, freaks em out when I have to take the top of his head off to empty him. Just these eyes staring at me :skull:

Went and picked up a record 92 pipe vice of ebay this morning, even though we rarely do any steel work at £35 i couldn't really ignore them. Just a pity AA route planner sent me such a funny way there.

Been thinking about getting one of these what do you use it for ?

Makita radio most important bit of kit!

 

[gasmanrob]

Got myself a bosh multi tool don't know how I got by without one, I can take up a piece of laminate floor and place it back and you'd never know I'd been. Only down side it is rather noisy but brilliant kit worth keeping on the van.

how do you do that?

 

[gasmanrob]

The blades are so fine on them you can plunge cut exactly where you need without taking out half the surrounding material like you would with a circ saw. Obviously some material is lost but that can be infilled with coloured mastic or kitchen work top repair kit. You do end up loosing the tongue or grove but when a customer is faced with having to replace the whole foor doing something like that can save the day.

I got myself a circular saw a couple of weeks ago, didn't buy a decent brand as it's only for the odd floorboard. Circular saws have always scared the bejeesus out of me.
