Where to get the Tools:

I would recommend going to a good hardware store that has excellent customer service (not a large name brand megastore). There are several important reasons I mention this issue. They will actually help you pick out the tools you need and illustrate first hand how to use them. They will also many times cut the copper pipe for you, and show you how to do that as well. I would recommend not buying the cheaper tools because you'll probably have so much fun with this loop you'll keep building more loops.
