10 Best Tools for Plumbers

After a few years of wanting to up my bending game I finally caved and got a pair with some promotion or another.
I could maybe see the benefits of them, more compact and easier to line through without the offset

Well they are much better than o could have imagined.
Such a joy to use and I actually want to get them out of the van. Rather than a half dozen fittings I’ll pull a few bends in. Over all a much more professional look and a much bette job in general.
I’d have liked the anodised set. And unfortunate a bit of corrosion on the handles, however it’s not effected the performance at all.

Nothing but good things to say and highly recommend them to anyone that asks.

By far the best and easiest bender on the market. If your unsure if you should buy one or not see if a friend has one. Try it. That’s all it takes, one try and you will be convinced.

Easy and simple to use. Comes in two parts and is extendable. The nylon guide is fully replaceable in case you have any mishap.

Great wee tool that’s easy to use and in the right price bracket. The robust and easy to carry design makes it great for the toolkit. There are extension bars should you require a bit more purchase but I’ve not found a need yet. Having everything in the one tools is great and not having to locate a guide every time works wonders

What can you say , best on the market and great tools ,easy to use and put into retirement old hilmor ones. Can make tighter bends and has marks for angles on them as well

Love these. Easy to use and having the range of sizes on hand has come in useful a lot. They are strong and comfortable to hold. The teeth provide a solid grip so I find they rarely slip.

Nothing For me will beat the ergo adjustable, comfortable accurate and the wide jaws making it so much more versatile than any other brand. Solid, well machined will leave the working surface scratch free

This will be my 3rd set of these in 40yrs some worn out some left under floors etc but I wouldn't buy any other shifting spanners the best by far 10/10 as always from bahco

Great set of adjustable spanners, had them a few years and can take a beating and won't open up on their own when using like some of the cheaper sets can.

The usual quality you would expect. Surprisingly light and well balanced. Unlike multi tools of other brands I have used, this cuts well and seems to have all the power needed for the applications I’ve needed it for. One small point is when changing blades if you have the battery in place. Be carful not to grip the switch as you un clip the blade from the holder, it’s easily done. But highly recommend you get one of these if you don’t have one, it really does have multiple uses.

Can be a little bulky with a 4ah battery on but is a great bit of kit. I had been putting off getting one for ages as did not think I would get use out of it but now it's always to hand in the van ready to go. Well worth the money

As a general rule DeWalt are my main platform for power tools, but the multi tool is possibly one the best tools in their range. I’ve tried other brands, but this multi tool is so well balanced in your hand and cut very well too.

Just bought this and absolutely luv this. This is my new addition to my Dewalt family . This was all down to you guys for advice on this great machine.

excellent pipe slice. i’ve tried other brands and this is definitely one of the better ones. easy to grip, doesn’t slip or get caught. just exactly what you want.

I’ve got these in every size. They’re essential for any plumber and I think they last longer than any other cutters I’ve used. Definitely recommend.

Monument are the old faithful pipe slices , I’ve never had any problems with them in the past. Only takes 2 minutes to put a fresh wheel on and then your good to go

Great pipe cutters. They've lasted longer than any of the other pipe cutters I've used in the past. I have the 10mm 15mm 22mm just need to get the 28mm set now

A great quality torch for the money, gas is readily available at any merchants. I’ve been using monument torches since I was an apprentice and have never had any issues with them

Decent blow lamp. I’ve never had any issues with it. Not used any others cuz it’s been so reliable. Works well in different angles too so never struggle unless it’s a tight space that any torch would struggle with

Have used these blow touches for several years always a good flame and heat , gas canisters easily obtainable have at times had trouble with ignition button which is usually dirt

The best blow lamp available and is made better by attaching the swirl tip which calms the flame. Without the swirl tip its abit like wrestling a fire breathing dragon.

A fantastic DAB radio I use it on site and at home in the shed and garden. Having been kicked over and dropped several times it still works perfectly

Great dab radio. It’s good bass very well built. It’s very loud. Compatible with battery but you can’t charge your battery when plugged into power outlet. Reasonable price. Doesn’t easily interfere. Perfect site radio.

Great product first thing to be turned on in the morning and last to be turned off, every site needs one, strong build quality, gas been dropped plenty of times over the last few years but still going strong.

Awesome radio had mine for over 5 years and still going well I upgraded to new makita dab radio but that sits in garage until old one gives up

Great tool. Every has engineer and plumbers go to heat mat.

Not cheap but good quality.

I love the mini version.

Its a shame the stitching cant be as fireproof.

Does the job and does it well. It is hard to find a mat that lasts and keeps providing a good level of protection but does not cost the earth. Good value and works well.

Good quality burn mat that actually doesn't break down and catch fire!
Flexible enough to bend into place, rigid enough to stay where you put it and not flop over the fitting.
The flap that overlaps the mat from the hole is a nice addition too so that the slot isn't vulnerable to scorching through.

Brilliant heat mat, used a fair few over the years but being able to wrap around the pipe while soldering is absolutely spot on I've used both mats and had no burn spots on skirting compared to rothenberger one which left spots after

Fantastic for cleaning pretty much anything and everything, whether it be scrubbing off dried adhesive or paint, or just cleaning up a dirty tool. Even scrubbing your hands for a while isn’t too irritating, which was a nice surprise given the abrasive texture.

Good quality wipes don’t fall apart when using,shift most dirt ,paint and sealant’s . Tub keeps them wet easy to get out. Always worth keeping tub in the van

Personally these are the best wipes on the market there is nothing worse that silicon hands but with these thay tackle it with ease its also worth getting the spray just to wet them a little bit more if its been a mucky day

Love Big wipes. Always have some on the van. Its worth having a bottle of the spray too it makes the wipes go a little further. The big tubs are better value for money but they are slightly high in price in my opinion.

An absolute must for any tradesperson, such a simple tool that is always worth having in the bottom of your toolbox. The name monument guarantees that you are buying and using a quality tool .

Only had to use this a few times because I do a lot of first fix but the few times I have it’s made removing the olive dead easy. Nice that it has the drill bit in it too

I love this olive puller.
I have used the old monument slip over olive cutters but found after a few uses they were not as effective. This beaut however does the trick every time, well worth the money

This olive puller is the dogs dangly bits.
So easy to use even my apprentice can do it.
Makes changing trvs a breeze and works better that the cutters

nice and powerful and easy to use. would be great if there was a switch to select different levels of power, so sometimes it’s a bit hardcore for smaller jobs. overall happy with it.

I’ve used Makita and most of their products are decent. Their impact driver does the job and especially how cheap you can pick them up if you’re not committed to one brand these are definitely worth it

Bargain impact driver, when you can get this for £40 on Amazon prime next day delivery. The only fault I've got is my previous one developed a trigger fault, and the replacement part cost almost as much as buying a new one

No brainier everyone should have this in there kit , I have the brushless model .Gets the job done no messing , feels powerful , is powerful does what it says on the tin and more.
