Even in house repairing there are quite a number of tools required to fix a problem. However, this article will discuss the top 10 tools only.
Firstly, there is Sink auger, sometimes a sink gets clogged because some material was washed away in the sink that got caught in the pipe as a result the drainage of the water was blocked. In that case sink Auger is used to clear away that clog, it is quite easy to use. Secondly, there is toilet auger, when a toilets gets clogged and the water does not sweep through then this tool is used to clear away the blockage, It’s a special tool that has an offset hand crank, a long sleeve handle and a special auger bit at the end to break through a clog or retrieve an obstruction like a rag. The auger bit is connected via a flexible shaft to a crank handle that you control. Its reach is about 3 feet. Thirdly, there is Flange plunger; it is designed to clear clogs in the toilet by the application of vacuum and the force of water. The special shape of the plunger is the reasons that it can do this kind of work. Fourthly, there is cup plunger, is probably, the most common tool, present in every house, it has a cup like shape with a wooden handle. It is usually used to clears clogs in the sinks and tubs and should not be used for toilets. Fifthly; Teflon tape, it is used to prevent leakage, where ever there is a joint in the pipes, first the end of the pipes are covered with this tape and then the next pipe is added. It is cheap, common and versatile thin tape.
Sixthly; Adjustable pipe wrench, it is used to tighten the pipes or the screws, like on the taps. However this wrench leaves teeth marks behind as they are sharp and are used to hold the round surfaces tightly so that they could be tightened up. Seventhly; Faucet valve seat wrench, is used to remove faucet body valve so that it could be replaced when it starts leaking over the passage of time. Eighthly; Faucet valve resetting tool, is to be used with compression faucets.
