Question from an Industrial Design Student developing tools

[iain85]

A tool that throttles the useless apprentice/helper automatically when they are on their phone.

A tool to square of and set depth of drilling holes through joists. I have no trouble doing this with a tape measure but apprentices seem to really struggle to drill a straight set of holes

It would be very handy to have a large enough profile gauge to go around toilets and hand basins etc so that when you are tiling or laying flooring the job is made less fraught.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

you take out the toilet or hand basin, tile then replace.

1 - A device for cutting copper which is clipped to a wall.
2 - A quality adjustable spanner with a quick release for if it bites too tighly
3 - A device that heats up copper pipe for soldering which does not use an open flame, maybe a heating element which clips to the pipe.
4 - Smoke Pellets which contain nicotine for when my e-cigarette runs out
