Plumbing tools
 

Hi all,
I'm a plumber moving to Perth early 2013, we are about to get container quotes.
Could anyone please advise what tools in should bring with me.
Do Australian plumbers use the rothenburger blow lamps, what hand tools are useless with the different materials etc.
Is it advisable to take tool box on flight so i hopefully can get work before container arrives .
did anyone air freight there tools out ???
Sorry loads of questions
Thank you

Ian

hi bud, bring your torch, handy when you dont have access to a oxy set, or if your just blowing a one off joint. pipe slices dont fit here, smaller pipe size, same with your benders, bring the rest, tools cost a bomb here, bring all power tools, same with cordless, dont bother with 110 v, health and safety go spastic if they see anything like that, basicly bring the lot apart from anything pipe size orianted. make sure to give it all a good clean bud, save any costs this end at customs, goodl uck and enjoy the ride . you could airfreight a set of hand tools to get you started, probably wouldnt hurt.
