Tool

What's your best tool you can't do without....in your toolbox ! ;-0

I love my 10" knipex but i loose a couple of set a year.

My estwing on the other hand............I've had 3 of these in near 40 years and every one i've lost (i snapped the head off one) has been like a death in the family. I'm devistated and go around like a raging bull until i get another so it would have to be that.

[GasmanxxxR1]

Me too I have missed mine (I lost the screw)

my old gaffers 10" grips must be 20? ish years old but feel so good to use although the handles are made up of 99% insulation tape now

It's a tool we all take for granted, but a 15/22mm pipe slice. Lose those and you will be directly down the merchants for some more.

Fein multimaster wins our "tool of the month" quite a lot. There are many others but this noisy little German chap usually gets his efficient nose ahead. Yesterday had a shower valve to service. Installer had, or allowed, tile just over the inlet cartridges. Fein with the diamond blade carved a lovely curve in tiles. Did such a lovely job I was kind of moist though strangely dusty. Customer was pleased but she was not quite on the same wavelength.

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.

liked the look of them milwuakee copper sliced for a while but do they actually save time or not?

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!

[woodytheplumber]

hay have to invest then as I already have the compatible drills so only need the bare tool (toolstation were selling the drill on the website only with 2 bats for 80!!)

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.
