Essential tools for DIY plumbing repairs include an adjustable wrench, pipe wrench, pipe cutter, plumber's tape, plungers for toilets and sinks, plumber's putty, a pipe snake or auger, Teflon tape, and a basin wrench. Additionally, having a pipe threader, tubing cutter, and a hacksaw can be valuable for more advanced projects.
