Good tools make good craftsmen? Mostly, yes! You will find below the 12 essential tools for the plumber, to slip in a bag or in a van and to transport from site to site.

Adjustable wrench
THE ONE! With its very good grip, the adjustable spanner is adjustable and adapts to the nut by the action of a wheel which tightens and loosens.
Pipe wrench
Like the wrench, it allows gripping and turning. The advantage: its notched jaw which allows a better grip on the surface of the pipes.
Bung wrench
The plug wrench is used thanks to its circular claws to tighten or loosen sink or washbasin plugs as well as to screw certain washbasin fixings.
Siphon wrench
The siphon wrench allows the tightening and loosening of the siphon nuts.
Drain opener
The unclog allows you to unclog blocked pipes by applying pressure. There are also manual ferrets to push and unblock a blockage in a pipe.
Suction cup
Often used for toilets, by creating a depression it allows a plug to be expelled inside the pipe.
Metal saw
With its very thin blade, it can cut different types of materials: this is all terrain.
Pipe cutter
The tubing cutter is specially designed for cutting copper tubing. Generally adjustable, it adapts to multiple diameter sizes. The cut is clean and without burrs and allows not to deform the tube for an assembly and a quality, precise connection.
Wrench pipe cutter
Same principle as the pipe cutter but for PVC and PER.
Sealing tape
It seals the pipes
Crimping tool
It is used to compress fittings on a pipe.
