Plumbing can be defined as repairing and installing pipes that supply gas and water, as well as they carry waste outside of home and from other places. Those who have such quality and know how to do plumbing are called plumbers. There are many tools’ plumbers use for repairing and fixing. Wrenches come at the top of the list. Wrench is a strong tool that is used to loosen a strong and hard nut. These are most commonly used plumbing tool. No plumbing tool list can be considered complete without these.
Wrenches come in different sizes and many plumbers carries more than two of different sizes to a job site. There is a Pipe Wrench, this is the biggest wrench that fits into the largest pipe. Usually, a pair of wrenches are used, one is used to hold the pipe and keep it fixed to a point and the second one is used to loosen the nuts on it. To open the nuts, one has to rotate the wrenches in anti-clockwise direction. The other type of wrenches is Basin Wrenches, they are t-shaped and are uniquely designed to work on faucets. The second most important tool for plumbing it a cutter. While fixing, plumbers need to cut tube and plastic pipes to a obtained size and for that cutters are very important.

Another important part of a plumbing kit is a plumbing torch. Its very dark there at your house drainage and usually there is no light in underground drainage, so having a flashlight is always a good idea because you never know when you need it. Similarly another handy material beside torch is a Sealing Thread.
