"Kits" that develop by job application over time are the best.

[@ianbutler1983]

Yes, I agree. I find the tool kits of tradesmen or serious DIY'ers fascinating, for some reason.

[@gmesmo777]

These are great videos. Please keep em coming

The Rigid 101 imp cutters are really handy, they cut a wider range of copper pipe.

[@jonblakemore6454]

I agree the inside cutters leave a bit to be desired, but how else are you going to trim the fitting below subfloor (or worse, a slab) for a street fitting if you're working with minimal height?
Sometimes it's the only thing that seems to work.

[@harleys-and-more2872]

You need to mix some electrical stuff in your kit as well because sometimes you run across electrical as well such as water heaters and ect

[@jenoramirez5028]

where did you buy your heat shield?

[@PabloDamon]

no pvc rope saw?

[@ivtec845]

Missing key things imo but I'm no plumber either. Shark bite caps shark bite removel tool pex crimper pex rings/fittings and a tub drain fork

[@disquiet3163]

Plumbers don't use sharkbite fittings. If a plumber does use sharkbites then they should be stripped of their license.
