A guage and 2 pair of knipex. A set of wera screwdrivers, My estwing, and pipeslices (tho they are giving me rsi!)

If i had to do without them i could use a box of matches a couple pair of anything that grip, a butter knife a brick and a hacksaw but it wouldn't be professional :lol:

I think the biggest thing i'd miss is my core drill. I remember when cutting through 30" walls with a hammer and chisel ment a half shift and an hour or 2 rebuilding it. Can do them (mostly) in under 15 minutes now.

i've got some bahco slices but the blades aren't cheap but i found some on ebay which are the same size for a fraction of the price

If they are same as the Bahco slices I bought recently when I had the chance to buy them cheap (pack of two, -15 & 22mm), they are orange painted, with a tapered & rounded edge - unlike other slices that have a sharp edge.
Two plus points, are they are easy to find, as they are orange! & they are nice on the hands - no sharp edge.
They can easily slip a little on the pipe & not cut in line though, if you are not careful.

they do the job and if they fail after a year then they cost little more than a replacement wheel
