How about 3 port valves with iso' unions?

An automated pipebender that can create perfect offsets and crossovers.

A junior hacksaw that cuts straight.

A burn mat that doesn't divert flames elsewhere.

A machine to straighten out coiled up 10mm. Didn't someone show one on here recently.

An automated pipebender that can create perfect offsets and crossovers. They're available but incredibly expensive.

A junior hacksaw that cuts straight. I've got one, it's goog thirty years or more old and you can tighten the blade like in a large hacksaw. Sandvik make the 268 junior which features a screw to tighten the blade, don't know if it's as good as mine though.

A burn mat that doesn't divert flames elsewhere.Can't help with this one but I've found if you use Mapp you can use a smaller flame.

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.

Have a look at WICU gas pipe from Yorkshire tube.

smokeless flux and smokeless burn mats so I don't feel like I'm getting lung disease every time I'm in an airing cuboard or loft
