you wont find a better blow lamp than a rothy super fire 2 for the price although if your goin to be doin site work a set of plastic pipe cutters, an adjustable spanner a hacksaw and battery drill should cover everything

Plumbing Tools
Many threads in the tool section to keep you busy. All the info you require should be in there.
One quick tip is buy a couple Bahco shifters.

id start of with a couple of adjustables couple of grips 2 pipe slices pair of plasic cutters small level tape measure junior hacksaw a set of screwdrivers hammer stanley knife blow lamp
but its going to depend on the work youre doing if is all plastic you dont need the blowlamp imediatly if its all copper you dont need the plasic cutters
