Tools

If we want to tackle a problem of heating or plumbing, it is good to understand how the system works, we must also agree to get their hands dirty and maybe other parts of the body after work. This requires s'équipper not only to do the job but also to protect you.The plumbing work requires specialized equipment and it is possible for a plumber frustrated using a wrench instead of a hammer, you will never see him loosen a pipe with a mallet.
Were replaced spanners steel with aluminum is much lighter.However, there are two disadvantages: tap with a hammer against metal could break or add a section to use it as lever may crack the aluminum due to the force used. However, if you need to reach this end, it is better perhaps to leave the work to a professional. The spanners are six inches long from one end to another, up to forty-eight inches. I advise an amateur plumber to get the keys cubits ten, twelve and fourteen inches to start.
The vise jaws are also tools that I consider essential. I realize that this is the brand name but the imitations of the same name.Experience has taught me that it was always better to buy quality tools. The vise jaws are available in many shapes and many sizes.It is important to remember that these are kinds of clips that can be attached to an object by holding it in place and therefore, you release your hands. I have a colleague who makes fun of me every faith that I use my vise grips, but as I always said "it makes me a third hand" ... and there are moments in plumbing where it is needed!
Wrench can be used like a wrench to tighten or loosen something.The difference lies in the fact that the wrench does not have teeth to grip. Grip is not really the right term, but rather a key against adjustable nut. If you must use a hex bolt, it is good on the one hand, use the wrench to avoid endomager a flat surface. On the other hand, attempt to remove the bolt with a wrench or pliers fixed aperture similar risk of damaging the pointy heads of the clamp and it could no longer perform its function. The wrenches are required when a surface has a finite end and neat, like the chrome plate and needs to be secured or removed.
The clamps of different shapes and sizes are great. First is, those I call "regular pliers," the keys angled, sometimes referred to as pliers, wrenches, pliers or forceps straight pointy heads, which could cut the electrical and son raking the plastic liner. Now, there are many multi-functional tools, it's like having a knife in Switzerland, but the plumbing tool, it is enough to store in his toolbox. The vast majority of this equipment is made of metal, slightly conductor of electricity and that's why the handles are plastic so you do not light electric shock ... or maybe worse.
Screwdrivers always make me think of a science exhibit that I saw a summer day in Boston. The screw is a scientific marvel and this form has been used since the beginning of time to all kinds of purposes. For example: to operate the locks and raise the water level to a higher level, to help people up and down staircases made of spiral, where space does not allow other facilities ... and of course for things hold together. They are many kinds of screwdrivers, the most common ones are star-shaped (Phillips) and square (Robertson). Plumbers tend to over use the screwdriver "stars" using them as leverage or as a chisel. The fact remains that sometimes it is better to sacrifice his tool rather than ourselves! A screwdriver can also be used as weapons of defense (no, I'm not kidding!): Let's say you're on a dirt floor and suddenly you hear the sound of rodents, small or large. You can take out your gun and go to your preferred rate against the pipe. Do not let go too, remember that you want to hunt and not draw!
A good quality hammer split weighing about two pounds with a handle and high impact is needed to break the wall and ceiling plaster. Have you ever wondered how a plumber gets rid of his frustration? Obviously a hammer is also used to assemble things.A hammer is a universal and necessary for all branches of the construction industry. The same is true of a meter, it's essential to cut your pipes and fix your appliances. I can not tell you how a simple pencil can save your life. Despite years of experience, do not believe that a "measurement in the eye" and we can cut without scoring. A simple miscalculation or lack of discipline can make you start work. It does not worth the effort! Better to measure twice cut that twice! Cutting shears copper pipes are small tools that can just as easily cut pipes that quarter of an inch pipes four inches in diameter. A small wood saw is also essential that a hacksaw. I could never work without a voltmeter capable of recording up to 240 V. The votage The same goes for electrical continuity tester.We obviously need a toolbox. It is best if it is plastic because it will not scratch the floor when you drop it on the floor. Perhaps, you want to add compartments to better be able to store your small items such as nails, screws, the meter, etc.. Feel free to add the tools you need for the more experience you have, the more you will specialize in choosing your equipment.
