11 MUST-HAVE PLUMBING TOOLS TO HAVE ON HAND FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT

Dixon Valve Industrial Sealant Tape

Sealant tape might not be glamorous, but it’s one of those little things that can make or break a plumbing job. The Dixon Valve tape is Amazon’s Choice for a reason. With over 31,000 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, this 520-inch roll can handle temperatures from -212 to 500°F—so yeah, it’s tough.

At just $3.50, it’s a steal. Reviewers say it works great on both hot water systems and non-plumbing projects, like crafts or quick home repairs. If you want a slightly thinner option, Votmell’s version gives you four rolls for under $6. Either way, don’t start your next job without some sealant tape in your toolbox.
