Plumbing tools

[stihl sawing]

Any of you plumb, I just replaced a lot of old plumbing tools that were wore out, with 16 sinks and faucets, 13 toilets, 7 tubs and showers and multiple water spickets, I get to do a lot of it.

I keep a lot of PVC fittings on hand and a few pex fittings. The expandable pipe is the best thing to happen since the microwave.lol.

Another good characteristic about pex is it's ability to expand when frozen, thus eliminating busted water lines in winter.

PEX is by far the easiest to use. I don't like the copper crimp rings. I use the stainless band clamps. Same tool for all the different sizes and the stainless doesn't corrode like the copper.

 

[cantgitright]

the mechanical contractor I use at work, uses the ridgid copper crimp tool...makes running copper almost as fast as pex! expensive as *f-word though!
