Hi I have just started a SVQ Level 3 in plumbing in Glasgow

Any advice on where to start with regards to getting tools - I am hoping to slowly build up my own collection so that I can gradually add, but not sure exactly where to start ?

is it worthwhile buying cheaper options to begin with and eventually get more expensive tools?

thanks

Nadeem
 
here's what I started with Clarke 10 and 12 inch adjustable rothenberger 10 inch grips 15 22 pipeslice also rothenberger a decent set of screwdrivers and a superfire 2 plus the usual tape measure hammer that would get you on but soon after you will need a SDS and a cordless

Sounds good! Thanks!
 
Bahco wide opening adjustables, Irwin grips. Try and buy the best you can afford, some of my tools are 15 years old and still going strong.
