These are probably the most used tool in any Plumber’s tool box. Pliers are not just another tool for a Plumber, they become an extension of their arms. Most people think that sounds odd, but pliers are more than just a tool to grab or turn things.

By using the handle end as a mallet you can gently force it in without damaging/denting the pipe or fittings. Or, when a brute force is needed the jaw end becomes a hammer. On an old pair of pliers I took a grinder to form one side of the handle into a flathead screwdriver/pry bar.
