servicing tool kit

[woodytheplumber]

I have picked up loads of advice from various plumbers and gas fitters over the years and I am after a little bit more, what tools do you guys use that make your job easier for servicing and repairs mainly like the obscure queer tool that you use once a month is what I am meaning thanks in advance

Gasmanrob which nut riveter do you use

Not it sure it's burried in the van and was "acquired" I'll dig it out and find out

I don't know why, but I've never thought of doing that. Definitely going to invest in some crocodile clips!

The ones you have, can you get them on to thermistors? I've been looking for something to use to get on to thermistors in awkward places which you can't quite get your test probes on to. I've been asking my installer mate to cut some of the wiring harness off boilers, so I can use that, but he keeps forgetting!

you can just about get them on with the leads here's some similar to mine

a lead with a test probe on each end can be handy as well sometimes you just want to live something see if it works
