• HDB and condo plumbing repairs
• Bathroom and kitchen renovations
• Commercial and office building maintenance

Whether you are clearing a blocked toilet, cutting copper pipes for a renovation, or maintaining drainage systems, having the correct tool ensures cleaner results and safer operation.

Pipe Cutters – Clean & Accurate Pipe Cutting

A pipe cutter is an essential plumbing tool for cutting pipes cleanly and evenly without crushing or deforming them. It is widely used for copper, steel, stainless steel, and plastic pipes.

Common pipe cutter applications:
• Cutting water supply pipes
• Plumbing installation and replacement work
• Renovation and bathroom fitting projects
• Maintenance and repair tasks

Pipe cutters produce straight, burr-free cuts, which are critical for proper pipe fitting and leak-free connections. They are preferred over saws for plumbing work due to improved precision and reduced cleanup.

Tube Cutters – Precision Cutting for Smaller Pipes & Tubes
A tube cutter is designed for cutting smaller diameter tubes commonly used in plumbing, air-conditioning, and mechanical systems.

Typical tube cutter uses:
• Cutting copper and aluminium tubing
• Air-conditioning and refrigeration work
• Gas and water line installations
• Tight-space plumbing applications

Tube cutters are compact and easy to control, making them ideal for confined spaces often encountered in Singapore homes and buildings. Clean cuts also help protect fittings and seals during installation.

Toilet Augers – Clearing Blocked Toilets Safely

A toilet auger, also known as a closet auger, is a specialised plumbing tool designed to clear toilet blockages without damaging the ceramic bowl.

Toilet auger applications include:
• Removing toilet clogs and obstructions
• Clearing paper and organic blockages
• Preventing damage to toilet fixtures
• Residential and commercial restroom maintenance

Unlike standard drain tools, toilet augers feature protective tubing and curved ends to navigate toilet traps safely. They are essential for plumbers, cleaners, and facilities teams handling frequent toilet blockages.

Drain Augers – Effective Drain & Pipe Blockage Removal

A drain auger is a powerful tool used to clear blockages in sinks, floor traps, pipes, and drainage systems.

Drain auger uses:
• Clearing kitchen and bathroom drains
• Removing grease, hair, and debris buildup
• Floor trap and pipe maintenance
• Commercial and industrial drainage work

Drain augers allow users to reach deep into pipes and remove stubborn obstructions efficiently. They are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing across Singapore.
