Go-to Tools for a Plumbing Tool Kit

This is a heat shield by Oatey for protecting framing and subfloor when you’re sweating copper pipes in tight spaces. It saved my bacon on a number of occasions. It’s flexible, so you can get it into places in which a more rigid material like fiber cement just simply doesn’t work.
