Hand tools are manually operated tools that do not require electricity or external power. They are widely used in various trades for tasks like cutting, shaping, assembling, and repairing. Common examples include hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, and spanners.
PEX Tube Expander
A PEX Tube Expander is a hand tool used to expand the end of PEX tubing so that fittings can be inserted easily. It works by widening the pipe using an expanding head, allowing the pipe to temporarily stretch and then contract tightly around the fitting to form a secure and leak-proof connection. This method is commonly used in PEX plumbing systems.
PEX Crimp Tool
A PEX Crimp Tool is a hand tool used to create secure connections in PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping systems. It works by compressing a metal crimp ring around the pipe and fitting, ensuring a tight and leak-proof joint. This tool is widely used in modern plumbing systems for water supply lines.
Copper Tube Cutter
Plumber Pipe Clamp
Plumbing Snake Auger
A Plumbing Snake Auger is a hand tool used to clear blockages in pipes and drains. It consists of a flexible coiled metal cable with a cutting or auger head at one end, which is inserted into the pipe to break up or pull out obstructions. It is widely used in plumbing work for cleaning clogged drains and maintaining smooth flow in pipelines.
Pipe Deburring Tool
Pipe Reamer
Pipe Threading Kit
A Pipe Threading Kit is a set of hand tools used to cut external threads on pipes so that they can be joined with fittings such as couplings, elbows, and valves. The kit typically includes dies, die stock (handle), and accessories required for threading. It is widely used in plumbing and pipe installation work.
Flint Spark Lighter
A Flint Spark Lighter is a hand tool used to safely ignite gas in welding and cutting operations. It produces a spark by striking a flint against a rough surface, which ignites the gas coming from a welding torch. This tool eliminates the need for matches or lighters, making it safer for industrial use.
