  Hello, Hattie! Hope you are super well!
  Enjoyed watching this TOOLBOX ESSENTIALS video; it’s good to be able to review one’s set of tools with recommendations by an established & experienced professional..

  Had a few thoughts/ideas to enhance its usefulness..

  As I didn’t locate a video for it here –

  “Tool Maintenance”
  e.g. how to keep them in good condition, WD-40 etc.. and if people have “slightly old/rusty” tools, how to refresh/renew/restore them.. (I’ve got 2 mole grips / locking pliers whose adjusting bolts have rusted stuck!) and in the case of *really* old/rusty tools, if unrecoverable, warnings re dangers working with shoddy tools, etc.

  The above may be stating the obvious / common sense to some, but possibly presents an opportunity to further raise your website profile in terms of SEO, as you would then be providing extra “useful content”, related to the key topic of “plumbing”, sub-topic “plumbing tools” / “plumber’s tools”, with lots of scope for SEO keyword usage across the pages..

  Further to this, there’s always the potential for providing your website users with “useful external links” to sources from which to purchase new tools.. (The word “affiliate” also comes to mind.. plus, ask your SEO-pro or web editor re “‘nofollow’ links”.)

  Another idea:

  If you supplemented this video with a dedicated “Toolbox Essentials” subsection of the website, with sub-pages for each tool or tool set (e.g. “wrenches” page, showing different sizes) and pictures for each, you’d have the potential to add so many keywords / key phrases on each tool set’s page, which can help your SEO efforts getting your site further up there in Google, Yahoo!, Bing et al.

  These “useful content” pages could serve those who are brand new to plumbing, possibly as “additional reference” during their studies. This could tie in as another useful resource for those taking up your SBS.

  One more:

  How about a (nofollow) link to your YouTube “Stopcocks channel” from each video’s page..?
  Or, “mirror” your YouTube channel page content on your own website in a dedicated “Videos page” offshoot from your “Free Stuff” section, to share the full series of tutorial videos conveniently from your website..?

  Questions:

  (1)
  You showed all the tools, but do plumbers ever use tool *belts*? Your tool “case” featured at the start of the video, but do you have any “recommendations” as to “best” or “most popular” or “most handy” toolboxes or carry cases?
  (Not for me – I’m no plumber – but if the info is useful to aspiring/experienced plumbers looking for something better?)

  (2)
  re “blowtorch” – are you subject to any “Health & Safety” requirements to carry/bring a small/portable fire extinguisher “in case the blowtorch ignites something unintended”??
  Not that it should ever happen with a skilled/experienced plumbers / blowtorch wielders, but you know those H&S types..!!

  I hope these few thoughts provide some useful value to you and your business.

  Kindest Regards,

  Chris.. x
