We visited BrightServe Plumbing and asked the team of dedicated plumbers what their favourite tools are, and which tools in their toolboxes they simply cannot live without.
Bongani’ s favourite tool is his spirit level.“ Plumbing is very precise work, and with my spirit level, I can always make sure that my work is straight.”
