whats in your toolbox

[Billy Bob Bob]

we are always being asked what tools do i need,so decided to remove all the pipe,rubbish etc out of my toolbox before going back in to work tomorrow this is just a basic day to day kit needed for a plumber/gas engineer thats without sds drills,bat drivers and all the other stuff we use,its a expensive profession

Bought a couple of Bahco spanners last week ... £44

I'd left my other spanner at a customer the previous day and thought, "If I ever lose it I'd be cross I didn't have a spare."

Now saving up for Knipex pump pliers. The ones I have are fine but I've only got one pair and if they break or if I lose them ...

I'm still puzzled as to how full the tool box gets, even after clearing it out every so often.

my brother does that all the time left his bahco spanner under a bath and couldnt be arsed taking the panel back off after he'd boxed it in.

And id recommend the bahco pump pliers over the knipex Bahco 8224 Water Pump Pliers 10" 250mm

Must get olive cuters 15 mm , 22mm is a must
If you are heating engineer in domestic !!!

[Mikey456]
