Tape measure, Bahco adjustables, and my gadget of the month which is my Milwaukee 12v copper pipe cutter.

Plus I just don't function without music playing.

They are brilliant for hard to reach places and are far easier way to cut copper than turning a pipe slice all day. Saves getting blisters. Just clamp the machine on the pipe, press a button and it's done! Cuts 15mm in about 5 seconds and 22mm in 10 seconds. Not a great timesaver, but makes cutting copper a lot easier and no more blisters!

I have a favorite tool I'd be lost without and its a small thin cheap flat bladed screwdriver with the end bent over 90 degrees, the uses for that are endless like when you need to remove a bath panel for example.

Where do you buy the sheets of gasket paper?

 

[David Foster]

I will have to ask at work who supplies us as we use graphite gasket. But try going to http://www.ibhs.co.uk/

I use a place in London called Orbic

 

[Dannypipe]

Ta. I want a sheet of thick gasket in stock as it will come in handy now and then. The only stuff I could find locally was too thin.

 

[Dannypipe]

Cheers fellas.

I call these my babies for some reason (Baby grips) :S "Pass me my babies", or "wheres my babies". God knows how many times the mrs has forgotten to take these out me work trousers sending them through the washing machine the poor things, but they have never let me down...... touch wood, hand them for about 6 years now.

Mine were stolen by a painter and decorator from Birkenhead. 🙁
