What tools should a new DIYer just getting used to plumbing have in their tool box? In this short video, The Honest Carpenter and Eco Plumbers of Central and Dayton, Ohio, team up to provide you with a list of 6 essential plumbing hand tools, as well as several honorable mentions!

6 ESSENTIAL PLUMBING HAND TOOLS...And Others To Keep Around! (Best Plumbing Hand Tools For DIYers!)

1. Channel Lock Pliers: sometimes called tongue-and-groove pliers, these adjustable, wide-jawed pliers are great for turning larger bolts, nuts, and connectors. Just remember that they have directional teeth in the jaws, and that they can scuff nice connectors!

2. Crescent Wrench: This wrench keeps the jaws at a fixed angle to one another; they can be adjusted with a thumb screw. They don't have aggressive teeth, so they don't mar delicate connectors!

3. SAE Allen Keys: Many plumbing fixtures use hex set screws. A good set of allen keys, or hex keys or hex wrenches, are necessary to remove handles and other parts.

4. Ratcheting Multi-Bit Screwdriver: These tools have a slip function that allows the user to keep the bit engaged while driving and winding back to drive again. They're great for the various odd fasteners (flathead/slotted) used in plumbing.

5. PVC Tubing Cutter: Many of the drain lines in residential construction are made of PVC. A good tubing cutter helps cut these in their common dimensions.

6. Copper Tubing Cutter: Similar to a PVC cutter, these small wheels help score and cut copper tubing, which is often used for water supply lines.

Honorable Mentions: pry bar, plumbing level, mini-hacksaw, tape measure, hammer.
