10 Tools for Plumbers Just Starting Out 

Hammer, Utility knife, Sharpie, Square, Teflon tape, Rags, Gloves, Tin snips, Plyers, 2nd pipe wrench, Water bottle (for hot work sites), Lightweight drill, Bandaids

definitely would recommend water pump pliers over regular adjustable. much more versatile can grip iron pipe almost as good as pipe wrench, and angles grab nuts and adaptors well. especially from an a hvac tech working with gas, oil, hydronics, and a/c.

Hammer for sure. That should be up there . Top 5 honestly. #10 would be a cordless drill

Hex keys, basin wrench both come in real handy working service

Roger, what would you recommend as my first pipe wrench, aluminum or steel? Ty

I have been doin all kinds of trades work for about 5 years now and I have used a tape measure in every trade accept for plumbing and that’s my main job

Great video Roger. I wanted to get your input on which machine I should get. I am debating between a Jetter or a Drain Camera, I do a lot of drain calls so either would be beneficial.

Need more like 30. I have the yellow hollow tray Ferguson's sales and I have anything to do trim in it and tool belt for when I'm doing DWV. When it's water days I have my expander, pex trays, pex cutters, screws,tape, 4 speed square, pencil, and my impact. Everything fits in pex trays besides impact, so two hands and I'm good

I have most of those, and some others that you didn't list. Yet I have no hammer, but my journeyman has three.

Hey, what all pipes with wood handles do you have in that browning safe? Can you show those tools too?

All right every Plumber has to 8:24 have a pair of channel locks 420and 440s preferably two sets of 440s A 10 inch crescent wrench and a 6 inch A pair of pipe wrenches small and big 25 ft tape measure metric and standard Allen wrenches and a set of torx for those oddball jobs Ridgid one stop wrench for angle stops and Pasco half inch Farrell nut puller. And other than that you could basically do whatever you wanted being a apprentice plumber another thing you might want to look into is a nice plumbing torch

Tape, Flash Light, Marker, Razor Blade, and Channel Locks. My every day without fail use every day. North Utah plumbing

Another informative one. Keep them coming Roger.

I know it's not necessarily a tool, but some PPE. I know some shops are more strict about that sort of thing. The last thing you want is the new guy not hearing or seeing right.

Alarm clock Vehicle Deodorant A clue No fear Cast iron knees Strong back Enthusiasm Good eyes BECOME AN ELECTRICIAN !!!! 😂

I need that Ferguson tool bag. Do they sale them?

hammer, some sort of pry bar and a good quality pencil like the tracer pencil.

A couple of vise grip adjustable pliers !

I love how you've uploaded one of these every year it seems

Hammer + combination pliers

2 * size 24 metric open spanner (for 15mm ½ inch) compression joins (residential plumbing). Pipe cutter (essential for non leaky joins)

A good flat crowbar is essential and relatively cheap. Floorboards need to come up on a regular basis.

I just bought the bigger version of that bag at Ferguson for only 40 bucks, pretty good deal

8 months in and a lot of money spent on tools for them to sit in my car while I grab stuff for the guy I ride and watch him. Any thoughts

For an apprentice? First aid kit. Jokes aside (though every workspace should have one), safety specs and ppe in general.

Reed deburring tool. Cell phone with pipes trade pro calculator app. Forget about the flashlight cellphone will cover that but I would have a headlamp for situations that a cellphone wouldn't be tool. I'd take a bone saw. Pipe wrench stays on truck and hammer goes in bag. Big fan love your material. Sincerely year one apprentice.

Definitely a nice Estwing hammer

Marker, pipe cutter, voltage meter, duct tape, and an extra set of your uniform as you will get wet/dirty

Hammer and also a Precision screwdriver

I think a good hammer goes a long way or a good utility knife aswell

Tin snips!

A knife at all times no exceptions

Hammer

I wish I had killer intro music like the tools did

Set of impact driver and drill

The editor has cracked me up two videos in a row now.

I think a good duct tape or a very strong glue might come in handy ?

Why didn't a bottle of drano make it to the list? X)

Tablet/phone for plan viewing

watch......be on time

A second pipe wrench - a single wrench is dangerous in the hands of an apprentice- and a basin wrench

3 sizes of channel locks 3 pairs of adjustable wrench

Pex cutters, copper cutters

Everyone needs a pipe stretcher. 😅

Driver’s license

Sure it's a tool purse... but it's handy

Tool #10: a cooler for your beer

❤❤❤❤❤

Mario and Luigi don't carry tools? maybe Nintendo need to fix this

Thread tape

Leatherman

Knee pad

I’d get rid of the saw and replace it with a writing utensil and then add a hammer

i would throw out the saw and put in a Sawzall with Milwaukee torch blades cant count how many times that has saved me

Need a reamer

Channel locks

A bag of chips

Stud finder for the tenth tool. Don’t want to accidentally drill thru those water lines

A marker, pen, notepad, small adjustable pliers for your pocket. And a knife.

I disagree with a tape measure and crescent wrench. Just use a grocery bag or box until one can afford a tool bag

notepad and pen

My tenth tool would be a plumb bob just in case you had to hang hangers for anything

Gotta have a proper hammer.

your cell phone.

okay guys, stop with the fake stories about you having your own service trucks after one year of apprentice.
