What tool would you buy a plumber?
 

Hey RS.

I have this a**hole friend who always helps me with my plumbing needs, but never takes money from me.

He say's stupid stuff like, "it's not a big deal" and "it didn't even take that long". What a jerk, I know.

Anyway, I was just wondering if there are any plumbers here and what tools do you use most?

Now, I realize that since he's a plumber and he likely has all the tools that he needs, but what about upgrades?

He helped me out and I saw that he had a really really old set of rusted channel lock pliers. I was thinking I should get him some brand new channel lock pliers.

Is that a good idea? I'm also opened to other ideas.

Thanks

Buy him a brand spanking new plunger

Underwear that properly covers his buttcrack

most tradies like tools. but they also like specific tools.

does he drink? a $100 bottle of whiskey goes a long way as a thank you.

service or new construction plumber

Booze, cigarettes or Tim Horton's gift card.

A lot of tradesmans are very particular about their tools. I've received tools as gifts but I've either given them away or it's sitting in the garage somewhere unused.

He does mostly new construction for his work, but the side jobs he does are service calls usually.

Maybe a shitter camera you know the ones you can stick down a toilet to see whats plugging it up. You can get ones that hook up to a cell phone.

Tims or a gas gift card would also be a good choice.

visa gift card

I was gonna say suspenders

Feather duster

These are slick pliers. Parallel locking jaw.
I bought a set a few years ago. Have yet to find a use lol. But I'm not a plumber.
