Metal File

This simple hand tool is a big time savior when it comes to smoothing a freshly cut metal pipe’s piercing rough edges and burrs. A wise DIY plumber will embrace the usability of a metal file and would undoubtedly stock upon a couple of these in their collection – for instance, a rounded metal file with a flat surface and a rounded tapered one.

Pipe Wrenches

These massive, yet ergonomic wrenches proves to be efficient when tightening and loosening fittings, nuts, and threaded pipes. Moreover, the serrated teeth of pipe wrenches ensure a fine solid grip.

Basin Wrench

This one’s a remarkably invaluable tool for loosening, and stiffening nuts that hold sink faucets together in place. The swiveling jaw and long shaft of a basin wrench can do wonders aplenty, whether it’s reaching up & into the deep, or squeezing through narrow spaces behind a sink.

Hacksaw

Since plumbing hardware can be unusually sturdy, it’s worthwhile to keep a hacksaw by your side. Hacksaws can cut through hardware, metal pipes, plastic pipes, and screws in a jiffy!

Tongue-and-Groove Pliers

Commonly found in every plumber’s arsenal, tongue-and-groove pliers are the first set of tools a plumber reaches for when the need arises to twist, grab, pull, or loosen and tighten something.
