| 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

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

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.

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.

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. https://www.amazon.ca/Knipex-8603250.../dp/B000X4OG94
