Combination Wrench
 | Combination Wrench have one end open and other box or circular type and are used to loosen or tighten the nuts. |
Come Along Tool
 | A come-along (comealong, come-a-long, power puller) is a hand operated winch with a ratchet used to pull objects. |
Compass or Divider
 | Compass or Divider can be used for inscribing circles or arcs. As dividers, they can also be used as tools to measure distances |
Contour Marker
 | Contour Marker is used to mark circular marking on pipe periphery at various angles for cutting purpose. |
Flange Two Hole Pins
 | Flange two hole pins are used to make sure that any two flange holes are perfectly aligned to horizontal. |
Various Shape Files
 | Files of various shapes are used to remove burrs from cut edges of pipes and fittings. Can be also used to remove rust form small places. |
Flat Screw Driver
 | Flat screw driver is used to multiple purposes apart from using to tighten/loosen screws. |
Fork Lift
 | Fork lifts are used to lift and transport heavy piping items from one place to another in workshop. |
Grinder
 | Grinders are used to remove rust from pipes and fittings ends before welding so that no defects occur in welds. |
Hammer Wrench
 | Hammer Wrench has thick heavy end which can be hammered to provide extra force to loosen bolts if they are stuck. |
Hydraulic Crane
 | Hydraulic Cranes are used to lift and move heavy piping items from one place to other in a workshop. |

Plumb Bob
 | A plumb bob, or plummet, is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, suspended from a string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line. It is essentially the vertical equivalent of a “water level”. |
Protractor
 | Protactor is used to measure or mark required angles during piping fabrication. |
Sledge Hammer
 | Sledge Hammer is used to apply forces to wrenches or to align things. |
Spirit Level
 | Spirit Level is used to ensure that piping is perfectly horizontal or vertical as required by piping layout. |
