AMAZON TOOL SHOP HERE: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/plumberparts Nearly everything in this video is there...
One of the prongs fits on the top of the fluke testers, so you can read them with both hands, that's the whole point of that model.
gareth scott think I dropped mine and now they don’t stick!
Great video, I’m trying to collect tools for when I leave college to carry on plumbing so this is exactly what I needed to see for what you use the most. Thanks.
Love your videos James! Learnt a lot from you, even just the little things!
Thanks Alex!
I do love how honest you are!
I love your bathroom ceiling...
I wish I learned a trade. Your work looks very rewarding
I just use a small 22 inch metal tool box and it holds my torches, torch heads, cutters, reamers, flux, sand paper, wire brushes, flux brushes. anytime I need to solder some stuff I grab this box and any copper fittings I need right to the spot. Organization is everything to get the job done quick and correctly.
I love the idea of having a backpack for hand tools and would spend 150$+ on one.
Great video. Very insightful. Thanks
i tell my apprentices to watch you and other plumbers on you tube keep up the good work
Missing bahco pipe wrench. My fav.
Just took the plunge on the veto tool bags myself went for the open tote as don't fancy the zipper every day.
Great videos. Please can you recommend a tool for taking burrs from pipe ends.
Very helpful...and funny commentary - the bit about nabbing the tools 🤣
Hey James, you can sharpen the ro cutter rotherbergher. Puma stone!
agree about stabila levels. loving the dewalt laser level i acquired recently too.
Yeah man agreed!
@@plumberparts the cutaway is quite interesting. ruclips.net/video/iCSbXPJDmO8/видео.html
Watched this video 109 years ago and been wanting the soldering bag for ages. Finally got the same one yesterday and you didn’t mention you had to some how find a way to fight out four incredibly tough rivets to get the side pockets out 😂. They have made an OL version with Velcro sides now and large enough sides to accommodate flux tubs. Nightmare.
Bloody brilliant
Loved this video thank you
James... I don't know if you still have the Fluke Testers but if you're 2 probe testing the live probe can be clipped in to the back of the tester body... used to have these myself but ended up changing them as they trip RCD's. Great vid's btw.
Hi like your videos been planning to become a Plumber,. Useful videos
Enjoyed watching VDO, you have a way of making them fun, entertaining and informative all at the same time. Well done! Been using Veto's for around 5yrs now after seeing a Sparks in States with one and thinking what Bag is that!!! Before I used to use CK Magma's which aren't cheap either at around £50-60 a pop but I would go through 1 of these bags in 6months to a year and it could no way hold what my Veto Tech XL can hold which I've had for 5yrs now and its still going strong. And I've used it in all kinds of environments without any worry it can take a beating. I now own Several Veto bags like yourself which I use for various applications. For example I hated the bag that my Anton Gas analyser came in so now I use my Veto MCT bag for my analyser, gas sniffer etc which works great so now when doing boiler services/Breakdown's I no longer have to carry two bags I just carry one with Analyser, service hand tools, small drill and don't have to worry about my analysers getting bashed up as the bag protects it nicely! In my humble opinion Veto's are money well spent!
Top work mate. Glad you like them. Are you based in the States?
The Veto OT - MC is a Popular choice at the moment for a soldering bag, especially with the little PB adaptation, but the one you have on your shop front is the OT LC !
I’v got a couple of veto bags I love them and wouldn’t use anything else but it dose take a little bit of time and use it fined what works best for you, I’v just ordered a couple more including the OT MC for a torch bag, yes expensive but are better and longer longer than anything I’v had over the years
Norman Stark yeah they one I have isn’t available so I thought I’d add the next best thing. I don’t watch PB so can’t comment on his video.
Hi if you could buy just one bag would you use the backpack mct or the tech xl larger bag. Thanks
Makes me realise just how little I actually have 😂 great video and thanks for sharing 👍
Takes years to get together though mate!
Thank you
As a none professional I do a reasonable amount of plumbing for my extended family. Seeing what you professionals use is really useful. I do believe in having the right tool for the job, unfortunately I don’t do enough copper work to justify the bending tool. As a request what do you guys use when PTFE doesn’t stop a weeping joint? I’ve just fitted a sunken/flush thermostatic shower mixer and it been a complete so and so to get one of the feeds fitted without a small leak. Plumbers mate and or liquid PTFE?
Thank you so much for sharing this, just off to Amazon to have a little spend. 👍🏻
Mike S tape. Always 👍
Great video. I Proper Bum Tools!
Cheers DAFYD!
Loving the videos
With your fluke - clip the red probe into the base unit and hold the unit when testing above head height.
Hey James, thanks for the video very helpful. Is it possible to make a list in the your comments section with the tools cheers.
I'm always swapping the tools out with various bags. Currently not decided whether to keep my soldering bag and some tools together. I have a stanly fat max tote type bag
Used to have a Stanly cloth covered tote. Was wicked!
Geat mod for the 6 inch Bahco : File part of the thumb wheel....Boom fits half inch nuts!
Always annoyed me that they didn't open that 3mm more to do so. :)
Have you tried toughbuilt tote tool carriers? Looking for something different but can’t warrant spending money on veto packs
Was that a knipex pliers wrench in the hand tool bag? Great alternative to adjustables.
Nerrad ones....
Always reverse a level. It doesn't match both ways round, throw it away. Even if you use it every day as things can shift.
How many times have you branded a little circle on yourself from leaning over and touching the end of that torch while it's still glowing? I've got one on the inside of each arm.
random: how do you guys dispose of the gas canister?
If you didn't know on the back of the fluke there is a slot on the positive side for the probe to sit in so you can hold it when testing and not have it hanging
What about flue analyser?
Veto MCT ordered !
Where can I buy that shirt from?
Should I need a soldering bag as an apprentice?
cheers fella
I love those veto bags but i work in industrial and if i buy myself a bag like that... Bye bye tools. Big bulky tool box for me 😩 great vid james 👍👍
Such a shame they get nicked!
Yep a mans tools are his jewels!
You should consider doing a live Q&A. You also have a lot of tools (definitely more than I have)!
Q and A on the Tools?
Yeh something like that, or just a general Q&A chat about plumbing
Hi, at 6 foot 5 do you think i will have trouble being to tall to be a plumber ????
Nice set of tools bruh
Cheers bruo!
Great video!! Part 2 still in the pipeline? :)
Great channel. Do you know of an electrian channel equivalent 👍
Thomas Nagy is pretty good
Get a White Permanent Marker and mark the end of the handles of your screw drivers with a cross or a dash so you know what screw driver your reaching for. 👍
“I’ve had this years “ looks brand new lol
Had or used for years?
Yeah didn't say he used them for years
My van just got broken into all my tools gone...last week end
Just bought the McT. After seeing this video a few weeks ago my bag seemed sad... it’s a sad bag.
2:57 these bags hold alot of gear 😂
Great video as ever mate. But why don't you mark the top of your screwdrivers with nail varnish or something. Easy then isn't it. I'm going shopping straight off this list in Jan after the kids have cleaned me out. Cheers for the upload
Dem tools are not cheap but they are quality !!
Longs tool bag video please thanks
You have a lot of adjustable jaw tools, which seems a waste of money and additional weight. Firms like Knipex have easy adjust, parallel jaws either with smooth or ridged jaw surfaces to cover all sizes. I've just bought the 250mm smooth jaw and it's excellent as a combined plier and wrench. I also notice that you don't have a locking plier like 'Visegrip'. I use locking pliers all the time to remove nails, broken head screws and as an extra holding hand.
I stood my blow torch on end years ago and my bottle had a dink in it I was cleaning my pipes under a floor and I could smell burning meat I looked down and it was the torch it fell over and was cooking my arm and from the day on wards I’m always careful where I put it
We've all been there bruh!
Where's the SDS or combi? :O
Ha you called it a cross head. We call it a phillips head here in the states.
Any chance you could do a video on how to fix if your radiators need bleeding every week or so. I live in a bungalow with a gravity fed system in the loft if that helps...
It's an open vented system, you always have a problem with air getting in the system
@@dillsplosion5334 So nothing to worry about then?
Not really just irritating lol
First you need to check if it is actually air in the system or if it is hydrogen.
Will do!
Can you do a vid on the anti-hammer device? Never knew there was such a thing!
MATE I WILL!
The supervisor stole my tools
Im having trouble placing your accent. Where are you from? And how is plumbing codes/criteria different from hwre in the states? If at all/if you know. Curious, given im a plumber here in the states. Also, great video. Keep it up. Where did you get your shirt?
It's a southern English accent
Meanwhile I just carry a cheap Raaco toolbox which I can use as a step if neccesary.
Eustace King £150+ for just a soldering bag??? I’m not charging enough 💰
I just use a small 22 inch metal tool box and it holds my torches, torch heads, cutters, reamers, flux, sand paper, wire brushes, flux brushes. anytime I need to solder some stuff I grab this box and any copper fittings I need right to the spot. Organization is everything to get the job done quick and correctly
Why are plumbers always so strong looking? What is it that you do day in day out that puts on so much muscle?
Hauling our toolbags and f**k*n heavy boilers. Some of us look rough as nails though. If you manage to find a decent engineer kidnap them. Plenty of decent tradesmen out there. Try and go on recommendations from other people. A few out there give us a bad reputation.
Grafting day in day out will do that to you
Part 2?
whats exactly wrong with the rothenburger benders, i think I asked before ages ago but you never replied.
Mate they rippled the pipe, plus the measuring on them was miles harder as the pipe didn't sit fully down in the guide...and also I'm so used to the Hilmar Irwin BEASTS!
they are the worse benders to buy bought a brand new one and always seems to kink d pipe avoid them
I bought a brand new rothenberger benders and it is a pile of shite, ripples the copper nearly everytime , the only way I find that helps with the ripples is if you keep moving the guide back as you bend, pain in the arse though.
The flat jaw pliers in the bag never got a mention.
So you've never been cut by those hooks on the end of that tape measure then? It's a real pain in the proverbial.
How id love to be organised 🤣
how t f you manage without mole grips?
Got a mini set in the hand tools bag...totally forgot about them! Always handy to hold a bit of 15 or summink to stop them dropping through a hole!
You wanna be looking at the Hultafors tape measure! Best by far!!! Get the 6mtr one! Thank me later :)
I'll have a look!
I've had one for about years now. My bro gave me it. I don't really use it though. Mainly my 5m or 8m Fatmax gets used. Maybe I give it a try. Stays in the van 🤔
Are all products from your amazon shop of good quality which will last with daily use so I dont need to worry about that aspect when buying from there ??
Anthony Wild mate they’re the same manufacturers as usual. Nothing is ‘made’ by Amazon.
@@plumberparts ok i will purchase without any worries then , if a tool breaks within a week I'll be back to moan at you Haha
Anthony Wild haha! Which one are you buying?
@@plumberparts I need a few things to be honest , I'm in my second year of college an I thought now would be a good time to start getting my kit together , I do have a shed full of tools as I've been in the building trade for years but going through that in winter just doesn't seem to be something I'm willing to do :)

Has anyone tried a firemat instead of a Solder mat? Just that they are cheaper and larger made of the same materials!
I'll have a gander
@@plumberparts can you share your findings and maybe tag me please?
JL SH will do!
They're ok but they sometimes tend to slip out from horizontal of vertical pipework. When your sweating joints. Mine is still going strong after a year and a bit if use.
hope your van security is good mate
I take everything out and sling in the garage then leave it unlocked. Plus we've got a solid Whatsapp group in my local area that tells everyone when there's scum about. Literally yesterday had a call come in. Jamie, Harry, Bruce, Lee, Rich and myself (so thats ground works, Plumber, builder, window man, roofer and myself) all flew out of the pub and down to the street where peeps had been seen. The whole communittee fucking love us...got a bloke and his mate arrested a month ago after a spate of robberies. Word's got out and the burglars don't even bother coming here now.
@@plumberparts I'd cry if I lost all my tools again. I haven't even got an inventory of whats in my VW Kombi or garage. I had my tools cleared out of my previous van. I feel like a muppet for not having tradesmans insurance. The police don't do diddle. They just give you a crime reference number. No tube carrier on top for me now. It seems to attract scum. My my bulkheads adapted for copper to go inside. Even my signage is on magnets now. I turn down work in iffy areas. Plus I have a text alert system if my van alarm goes off. I'm paranoid as hell now 🙁
pleeeeeease knipex cobra water pump pliers, you will never go back!
Never thought I'd see the day when you got your tools out?
HA! Filthy swine!
you missed out the table?
Mole grips
Those bags look great but bloody expensive. 😮
They are seriously worth every penny though!
Yup I took the plunge last year and brought a veto pro xl. It's definitely been worth it. I can find my tools all day long. Stops me having to drag everything out, like I used too.
I'm tempted. Maybe Santa will be generous this year 🎅
I use a bucket bag. I find they work great for me and you can always find a free bucket on job sites that other crews toss.
But you only need to buy them once 👍🤓👍
Brilliant tool bags but can't afford it.
Liked what you said about your tools being abused . If im on site and someone needs a tool for a few minutes ill always say here use this . I know what its like if i need to borrow something i don't have with me or close by . If it breaks it breaks . I usually end up losing tools by leaving them on the sparks trays in the ceiling or in the roof when i leave it there over night and come in the next day and the plasterers have dry boarded up the room and i have to leave it or smash the wall / roof out 🙄😂
Good kit not sure on the levels as they’re not milled edge
Ping me some links to your ones...I'll have a gander!
plumberparts . This is what I use with the 600mm version too.

The tools I like in your list are not shipped to the free world, guess we need to start making our own tools
beer holder? :)
FFS I knew there was something!
@@plumberparts I hide a copy of retro playboy magazine in the back of my xl pr pack. Sometimes it's nice to have something to look at when your customer looks butt ugly 😋
I was greatly surprised in a bad way with the cost of the xl bag.... £405!! It's a great bag yes, but £405!!!... Just for the bag. Even the small one is steep at £145! I'm a Joiner/Builder, always believed in getting the tools you need to do a job right, but I ask myself, should I pay £405 for a tool bag??.... Shame, because it is nice, but a rip off I'm afraid
Anyone else use the makita macpaks?
Veto for me & I'll never go back to using Stanley. They've become my overflow bags n boxes.
You forgot your Bute tools ;)
Haha! They're in the long tools bag...thought I'd mentioned them but might have got cut in the edit!
Saw blades
It's a veto tech mct not a pro Pac.
Nice one great vid. But. A cross head screwdriver? Phillips or pozi? There is a difference. When you ask an apprentice and even seasoned trades for a Pozi 2 and they pass a Phillips 2 and you tell them they are wrong. “They are the same thing” no they are not. For the most used screwdrivers in my kit I have different brands so the handles are totally different, easy to find what you need. One of the best things I did was change my 18v impact screwdriver for a 12v non impact screwdriver. Smaller , lighter and quieter also all the power you need 99.9% of the time. I’ve had dry liner borrow it and said haven’t you got a proper one? After using it said he was going to buy one. Electrician bought one as well.
I know there's a difference...but I'm in front of the camera and sometimes get tongue tied! I've got different brands too...Stanly/CK/Wera and some I don't even know! Might have a look at downgrading my drill. It's just I'm into the batteries now! You got a name/model?
plumberparts. Yeah sorry didn’t mean to imply you didn’t know the difference. I tried to do a piece to camera and couldn’t string 5 words together without going blank and erring... a lot! I know what you mean about batteries keep with 1 system. I’ve got Bosch. I see you have Makita the 10.8v are even more compact than the Bosch and the batteries share a charger with the 18v. Also I have a Snickers open tote XL, it’s great but if you can’t get the van near the job or blocks of flats with stairs it gets heavy. When you’re finished the job it’s good because everything has a place and you can see if anything is missing.
I need to start my collection. Sunday market car boot here i come!!!!!!
Sadly any decent tools on sale will have been stolen from someone's van or shed.
Don't buy from car boot's mate. Knocked off tools stolen from blokes like you/us!
@@plumberparts hey, it may be possible that tools will have been stolen. Then again, it can't be proven most of the times. Was just banter, hant been to booty loot for 10 years!!!
@@karimabdullah2925 Haha! Good lad!
I found the fluxuator on Ebay but Amazon said they are not shipped to the USA........ you should talk to Amazon and ask why they are ripping you off
Longer lasting 😂
Always? How long has “always” been for? Looks like it has never been used.
Which tool are you on about sweetheart?
Where are the footprints
And battery’s
I thought rags and flashlights would be all over every bag and pocket - those are the things you suddenly need while bending your spine under the sink
Got a great Makita light...and my phone!
@@plumberparts plumber parts phone case review when xD
I like all the tool you are using and the bag is fantastic but expeeeeeenssiiiiive over 400£ that's a thief's magnet but I guess that's the bugatti of tool bags
