The great big plumbers wish list thread.

[Guest123]

We've all come across situations when we wish someone had invented something to help us get that job done easier, quicker and better.I want everyone to post their wishlist that they would like to see in their plumbers arsenal. The best ones I'll contact a few manufacturers I use and who knows you might even make your first million.

I'll start the ball rolling. One thing I want is for someone to invent realistic looking shiny chrome sanitary silicone, would really finish off shower enclosures.

Start posting!

Sting free flux! Already sleeved copper tube. A magic paste that seals the sudden drip on old pump valves. Dust sheets that actually stop dust. And a dust free drill bit.

An apprentice that knows everything drives owns hos/her own tools and van and works for 50p a day ?

Flexible flush pipes for those concealed cisterns !

Like this one. I've used Mcalpine flexible 1 1/2" waste pipes in the past.

An I phone app that measures stuff using the camera and some infa red techno ingenuity.

If it had touch screen abilities you could for instance point it at a house, touch screen at one side then touch screen at the other side and bam!! You've got the measurements.

A van that warms up instantly, so I don't have to drive off first thing with my head hanging out the window because I can't be arsed to scrape it

Knuckles that don't cut when you slip. Or an app that prevents you from taking a sink trap off and pouring the contents into said sink

Instead of an app just tape a bucket to your phone and leave it under the sink.
