This is a great tutorial for new plumbers and diy lovers.

[@Allhoursplumbingslc]

One of the keys to success is to have the right tools on hand. Good video if you’re planning to dabble in plumbing and you want to start right with the proper tools.

[@adaptationPHL]

I have found that a basin wrench is also incredibly useful for turning stubborn old shut-off valves - without crushing the handle with a pair of pliers.

[@douglastracy8460]

Good one for anyone who wants to get into this craft!

[@moisesrojas8140]

Hello John! Great videos! Thank you for sharing these useful videos

[@joy10march89]

very good for new plumber

[@proplumber7295]

This tools are common but useful. If a plumber know how to use them properly then most of plumbing job can be done easily.

[@moseschongo2959]

This is a good explanation

[@kileholbrook890]

my NCCR plumbing book call Channel Locks slip joint pliers because Channel Lock is the brand

[@Satchmoeddie]

Those are Slip Joint Pliers, and "water pump pliers" is a term used because the outer handle operates kind of like an old farm water pump. Knipex pliers are 10,000% better than Channelock, and about 3x more expensive. This guy sounds like his is from Chicago and has no clue what comes out of which part of a cow, or the difference between a cow, a steer, and a bull, for that matter. That is a "BASIN WRENCH". Idiot! I was packing lead and okum around cast iron sewer pipes with my father when this guy was in still diapers. In 1972 we replaced the longest wooden siphon in the world with twin 84" steel siphons, on The Pueblo Dam. (it is just a guess that it was the longest siphon, as no one kept records, but it was a huge miles long 60 inch redwood pipe, held together with wrought iron bands) Look up Fry-Ark Project. That one was plumbing on a civil engineering scale.

Good video

The flathead is called a "common" and the toilet flange bolts that make sure the toilet doesn't move are called "closet bolts"

[@misterdinkly]

what size channellocks is most versatile?

[@jordansantanen2241]

I would say the medium sized

[@charliejackson7982]

8 or 10 inch depends on the size of fitting 15 and 22mm more common

[@carlomagno7092]

25 cm

[@donnystone8087]

I use medium size as a pocket carry, mainly due to versatility. But it's good practice to have tiny and extra large as well. You can never have too many tools in your vehicle.

[@southperthplumbers]

It is common knowledge that we have to have some basic tools incase of plumbing emergency. You can even repair some small plumbing problem.

[@Dashasohn1]

Channellock is a brand bro. Regardless, they're actually 'groove joint pliers'.

[@misterdinkly]

Thomas Rains jr What sizes of pliers you suggest having. Will 12 incher be the biggest you'll need?

[@jailbreakingman304]

No they are called water pump pliers or grips

[@BigR0d]

In Australia we call them Multi Grips aka “Multi’s”

[@TheUniquePlumberman]

Tongue and groove pliers. Channellock is a trademark name. Laugh all you want. I love my Reed and Imperial tools. Oh and Burnzomatic instead of Turbotorch.

[@markbenoit]

I think the grabbing your talking about on a hack saw blade is from using too course of a blade, I know exactly what your talking about, if you have too course of a blade the work tries to go between the teeth and shear them, and makes for the grabbing, like a blade with a 32tpi would be better for thin wall pipe. as a rule you should have 2-3 teeth in the work.so if you had 32teeth per inch divide that by 16 and you would have 2 teeth in something 1/16 of a inch thick. 18tpi would be best for 1/8" thick etc doesn't matter if its alum or steel brass bronze etc same 2-3 teeth in the work rule works.

[@charleswallace8502]

is it weird that when i was little i used to play with a crescent wrench

[@jeremywestern7067]

I’ve owned my big hacksaw since 1984...prob before this fella was born... which worries me 🤔

[@djianmurphy]

map gas is a bad gas for soldering as it heats the solder before the copper causeing it not to to the stick to the copper this is fact would no use it on any pipe less than 1 inch and a quarter

[@crumplezone1]

The most common Plumbers tool in pro plumbers Boxes are stilsons, why no mention dude? :)

[@kraken21990]

Some plumbers don't deal as much with black iron and galvanised. I haven't heard of a plumber who didn't have a pipe wrench but I personally don't use it as much as any of the tools he had listed with the exception of the basin wrench. An offset hex wrench/offset spud wrench (I have only seen ridgid produced ones) I find is better under most sinks and causes a LOT less damage.

[@TheUniquePlumberman]

Jeff Jones, Stilton? You are going way back 😃 I don't even think they are in business anymore. Reed or (most common) Ridgid are the makers of pipe wrenches. I use mine daily still. But then again I'm in the service side and need to.

[@ErikG_96]
