When you need to do something in your home, do you choose to do it DIY or do you call a professional? Of course, it all depends on what you are experienced with, and there are some jobs that most of us wouldn’t feel comfortable handling on our own. How about plumbing? While some simple things aren’t too complicated, there are many tasks that you really shouldn’t try without the proper training.

However, when it comes to any type of work, it is also important to have the right type of tools. While we probably all have a standard set of tools, there are quite a few specific tools that are made for specific tasks, not just when it comes to plumbing, but also in many other trades. While it might be possible to do the job with the tools you find at the bottom of your toolbox, using the wrong tool could make some jobs more difficult or even dangerous. It is also possible to damage your pipes or fixtures using the wrong tools.

Of course, we’re not telling you not to do DIY projects, but sometimes it is important to remember that there is the option to call a professional to take care of the problem for you.
