You can’t beat a chain vise. I can guarantee you that I won’t get 100 years out of mine. I use it alongside a few Ridgid roller head pipe jack stands prefab weld pipe. Once the legs start to get wobbly it’s time for a new one.

Are you a fitter or a welder??? Or both???

What’s y’all go to screwdriver ? You like the multi or the singles ?

I like the multi but can’t keeps bits for **** and I also like singles.

I’ve been looking at a Klein that is Phillips and flat and it pulls out and flips to the other style.

Home Depot has them. Bought 1 a few weeks ago for one of the techs. Awesome for toilet change outs.

If y'all want a good flashlight just get you a desalt or Milwaukee cordless battery flashlight,you already gots lots of battery's and they last a long time and real Brite,that's all we use now

I have the Sexauer kit that allows you to tap a faucet that doesn’t have a removable seat and install a removable seat. Or retap a faucet to a different thread seat.

As Miley Cyrus would say : Pretty Cool

Couldn’t you install a new faucet faster and cheaper than it would take to tap a old faucet???? Just sayin

I think Irwin calls a lot of their drill bits “ speed bore “. Found some old regular spade bits by Irwin called speedbore in my shop

We drill all our waterlines with the 1" bit,run both 1/2" and 3/4" with the 1" bit,15/16" works also
7/8" is to tight for 3/4" pex

I just got my gauge from Supplyhouse.com, gotta stay away from that place……

For fun I bought a couple sch.40 pvc dishwasher tees. Comes with a plug if the dishwashers not there yet or you’re removing the dishwasher, it’s molded on the side and you break it off when needed. Pretty cool as Miley would say

We have a bunch of random knockouts in pieces at the shop, decided I wanted my own set. The case isn't much bigger than my current 1/2" socket set. It comes with a longer 1/2" ratchet that should do fine replacing my breaker bar too. Knockout sizes for 1/2" through 2" pipe. Greenlee #1804.

Do any of you deal with metal studs often? Holesaws on metal studs are awful and holes cut with tinsnips look tragic.

To much trouble and to time consuming to use knockouts on metal studs,I use a unibit then take my left and right hand snips and make a pretty decent hole,good enough for pipe to penetrate anyways
