Drain cleaning tools: Selections may include closet and urinal augers, kinetic water rams and power drain cleaners for sinks, toilets and main lines.
Cutter blades and heads: Attachments often include U-cutters, ClogChopper blades and boring gimlets for cutting through roots or heavy debris.
Pipe inspection cameras: M12 cordless cameras and SeekTech locators can support visual assessments of interior pipe conditions.

Tools for Pipe Fitting and Connection

Proper connections can support leak-resistant projects across copper, PVC and PEX-A.

Disconnection tools: Disconnect clips, tongs and pliers can help remove push-fit fittings without damaging the pipe.
PEX-A expansion tools: Expansion heads support secure PEX-A connections, though you may also need PEX crimping tools for other tubing projects.

Flaring and bending: Tubing benders and flaring tools are often used to shape copper or aluminum lines.

Cartridge and handle pullers: Designed to help extract corroded or stuck faucet cartridges and handles.
Tub drain extractors: Can support the removal of old tub drains or damaged pipe sockets.
