Plumbers Tools
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a handyman, changing tap washers may seem like a walk in the park - provided you have the right plumber's tools. While you may be able to get basic plumbing jobs done, you should double check with your local council to make sure you can legally carry out the work. All major work must be carried out by a qualified, licensed plumber.
Basic plumbers tools - what you need
A standard plumber's toolkit consists of the following:
- Plunger
- Multigrips (adjustable wrench)
- Gloves
- Auger
- Shifter
- Needle nose pliers
- Tape measure
- Hammer
- Screwdrivers
- Metal file
- Tube cutter
As we mentioned before, in Brisbane, you are limited in the type of plumbing work you can actually perform. For example, changing taps and tap washers or fitting new shower heads are okay, most work is too specialised. In fact, licensed plumbers servicing the Brisbane area can list their details on BrisbanePlumbers.com.au and reach highly targeted website traffic actively seeking your business.
Consider this before doing your own plumbing work
Before you head out and buy a brand new set of plumber's tools and start working on your home plumbing, ask yourself a few questions:
- Will I be breaking the law?
- Do I really know what I'm doing?
- How much will it cost if something goes wrong?
- What if someone gets sick or injured because of my plumbing work?
- Do I have insurance cover to protect me?
