On van keys, it saves unnecessary trips. At home, it keeps common radiator and valve jobs in one compact, easy-to-find tool.
USEFUL WHEREVER YOU KEEP IT
Made for the trade. Easy enough for home.
FOR THE TRADE
Less stopping. Less searching.
Keep the small-job essentials on your van keys, belt loop or tool bag. When the tiny task appears, the tool is already with you.
FOR DIY & MAINTENANCE
One compact answer to common jobs.
Bleed and balance radiators, turn isolation valves and open meter boxes without a drawer full of separate little keys.
THE QUALITY IS THE POINT
Premium, heat-treated 17-7 stainless steel.
17-7 is a high-performance stainless-steel grade chosen where strength, precision and durability matter. PlumbShark is then heat-treated so its working edges stay strong through repeated real-world use.

What does PlumbShark actually do?
After years of using tiny keys that slipped, bent or did not fit older vents properly, we made the one we wanted in our own toolkit.

DESIGNED BY SOMEONE WHO USES TOOLS
Invented in Hertfordshire by a heating engineer.
“I wanted the small tools I kept reaching for to be in one solid piece that could live on my keys.”
Lee designed PlumbShark after 25 years in heating. The brief was practical: make common radiator, valve and meter-box jobs easier without creating a flimsy novelty multi-tool.

RECOGNISED BY THE TRADE
MMPlumber’s must-have tools under £25.
MMPlumber independently placed PlumbShark at No.3 in his “15 Must-Have Tools Under £25 on Amazon” video. The feature was neither sponsored nor gifted placement.
Both. Plumbers and heating engineers value having the small-job functions on their keys. DIY users get one compact, clearly labelled tool for routine radiator, valve and meter-box tasks instead of buying and storing several separate keys.
Is it really made from one piece of steel?
Yes. The working tool is precision-cut from a single piece of heat-treated 17-7 stainless steel. It has no folding mechanism, hinge or spring to loosen. The removable carabiner and split ring are supplied separately for carrying it.
Does it replace a full toolbox?
No. It is designed for the quick, common jobs that do not need a full-size hand tool. For seized fittings, high torque or restricted access, use the correct dedicated tool.
Will the radiator key fit every radiator?
It works on standard accessible bleed vents. The body needs clearance, so a dedicated slim radiator key may be better where the vent sits unusually close to a wall or between tightly spaced panels.
Can anyone use every function?
Routine radiator, valve and meter-box tasks can be suitable for competent DIY users. Work on gas fittings, test nipples or gas appliances must only be carried out by someone appropriately qualified and Gas Safe registered where required.
Is PlumbShark patented?
PlumbShark is protected by UK registered design no. 6282905. UK patent application GB2305246.7 is pending, so we describe it as patent pending rather than a granted patent.
What if it breaks?
PlumbShark is covered by HeatLab’s lifetime guarantee. Contact HeatLab with your order details and a photo so the team can help.
