Plumbing Tools to Keep Handy
In certain emergency plumbing situations you always want to make sure you keep certain tools handy. It isn't always easy to go and search for a plumber while something is overflowing or leaking, especially in the middle of the night. To help deal with these types of emergencies you should always keep the following tools handy around the house.
Some basic plumbing tools that can help you are:
Wrenches: These tools are common tools which is a "must-have" to tackle plumbing problems. It is difficult to get the right wrench since you may find different types of wrenches in the market. It is generally advised to go for adjustable wrenches since these offers the flexibility to change the grip as and when the situation demands. Fixed wrenches on the other hand, offer only one type of grip. Other types of wrenches are socket wrench, basin wrench and pipe wrench.
Pliers: This is the second items which are very important to deal with any type of plumbing work. The most common type of pliers are tongue and groove pliers. Pliers are a part of most plumbing tools which are available in the market.
Pipe Vises: This equipment is mainly used for threading, reaming and cutting pipes. Pipe vises are designed to work with pipes of various sizes. The two most commonly used ones are yoke pipe and chain vises. The former is used for pipes with jaws, whereas the latter is used for pipes without jaws.
Sink Auger: This is by far one of the most valuable plumbing tools that you can own. Great for clearing clogs in sinks and bathtubs,the auger consists of a long flexible cable coiled in between a drum shaped canister. By turning the canister, you can make the cable break up any challenging clogs in your drains.
Toilet Auger: Similar in use to the sink auger, this is specially designed for clearing clogs in toilets only. Commonly known as the closet auger, this special tool has a hand crank, a long sleeved handle, and an auger bit that can break apart any plumbing obstructions. It reaches around three feet.
Plunger: Shaped like a rubber cup with a wooden handle attached on one end, the plunger is most commonly known clearing up clogs. There are specialized plungers for the different occasions. Cup plungers are used for sinks and tubs, while the flange plunger is designed for the toilet bowls.

jack points and hose tool?
I'm trying to use a jack and stands. I think i identified the undercarriage of my car. There is the thin metal side skirts (factory scissor jack use). I can see the frame. There are sort of grooves on each side. I'm not sure if that's it because the jack stand areent' shaped like that. Also, I noticed a little bump on all four sides between the frame and the thin metal outskirt. Could that be a jack point. I don't see any jack point in the front. HOwever, I see a cross member in the back. Also I don't want to jack it from the crossmembers that connect with the frame. Can anyone tell me where are my jack and stand points. I have a 2002 hyundai accent. Also i'm trying to remove some of my radiator hoses and p/s hoses. There seems to be a clamp to connect it. I think i have to squeeze them together to get it loose. Is there a special tool or can i just use a pliers.
I heard someone else say jack it up on the control arms. Won't they bend? How about the jack stands?
Larry is too old to know current manufacturing techniques. You only need to hold the front half of the car, not all four wheels for this procedure.
Do not put the jack stands under the "A" arms, or any suspension components, as they are stamped light-gauge steel and only hold alignment, not weight. (I could go on)
Use the factory jack points where your scissor jack is supposed to go, right behind the front wheels, about under the door hinges. Do not jack on the crossmembers. There SHOULD be jacking point locations/labels on your scissor jack, the spare tire cover (floor of the trunk), or in your owners manual.
You can use pliers on the clamp.
