Hammer, Utility knife, Sharpie, Square, Teflon tape, Rags, Gloves, Tin snips, Plyers, 2nd pipe wrench, Water bottle (for hot work sites), Lightweight drill, Bandaids

[rickydowell]

Hammer for sure. That should be up there . Top 5 honestly. #10 would be a cordless drill

[nicktardif]

definitely would recommend water pump pliers over regular adjustable. much more versatile can grip iron pipe almost as good as pipe wrench, and angles grab nuts and adaptors well. especially from an a hvac tech working with gas, oil, hydronics, and a/c.

[josephhiggins]

Hex keys, basin wrench both come in real handy working service

[geneticdisorder]

Alarm clock
Vehicle
Deodorant
A clue
No fear
Cast iron knees
Strong back
Enthusiasm
Good eyes

BECOME AN ELECTRICIAN !!!! 😂

[electroluxlad]

All right every Plumber has to 8:24 have a pair of channel locks 420and 440s preferably two sets of 440s A 10 inch crescent wrench and a 6 inch A pair of pipe wrenches small and big 25 ft tape measure metric and standard Allen wrenches and a set of torx for those oddball jobs Ridgid one stop wrench for angle stops and Pasco half inch Farrell nut puller. And other than that you could basically do whatever you wanted being a apprentice plumber another thing you might want to look into is a nice plumbing torch

[tannerwest]

I need that Ferguson tool bag. Do they sale them?

[markh]

Another informative one. Keep them coming Roger.

[erinparis]

I have been doin all kinds of trades work for about 5 years now and I have used a tape measure in every trade accept for plumbing and that’s my main job

[workingtothebone]

Need more like 30. I have the yellow hollow tray Ferguson's sales and I have anything to do trim in it and tool belt for when I'm doing DWV. When it's water days I have my expander, pex trays, pex cutters, screws, tape, 4 speed square, pencil, and my impact. Everything fits in pex trays besides impact, so two hands and I'm good

[santhoshreddy]

Hey, what all pipes with wood handles do you have in that browning safe? Can you show those tools too?

[alfredoolvera]

Roger, what would you recommend as my first pipe wrench, aluminum or steel?
Ty

[miaomeow]

Great video Roger.
I wanted to get your input on which machine I should get. I am debating between a Jetter or a Drain Camera, I do a lot of drain calls so either would be beneficial.

[b.powell]

A couple of vise grip adjustable pliers !

[AKITM]

I have most of those, and some others that you didn't list. Yet I have no hammer, but my journeyman has three.

[jamesmayo]

Tape, Flash Light, Marker, Razor Blade, and Channel Locks. My every day without fail use every day. North Utah plumbing

[siggy]

Marker, pipe cutter, voltage meter, duct tape, and an extra set of your uniform as you will get wet/dirty

[alakaiwarford]

I love how you've uploaded one of these every year it seems

[brayanflores]

I know it's not necessarily a tool, but some PPE. I know some shops are more strict about that sort of thing. The last thing you want is the new guy not hearing or seeing right.

[siggitiggi]

For an apprentice? First aid kit.

Jokes aside (though every workspace should have one), safety specs and ppe in general.
