With a diamond blade? Never had a problem.

 

[REDSAW]

a well versed, educated 'big issue' seller doing my quotes for a £1 each.

 

[Sid Viscous]

Laser powered laser guided flue-hole cutting limpet. Stick it on, switch it on, get on with something else

 

[Keefy]

3.25 metre lengths of copper tube for central heating drops.

 

[southcoastboile]

A reliable cut in iscolating valve that can be cut in to live pipes to save draining down. E.g changing a 3 port

How about 3 port valves with iso' unions?

 

[R1CKY]

A machine to straighten out coiled up 10mm.

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.

 

[Keefy]

TRV's with 18°C, 19°C, 20°C, 21°C marks on them.

Won't happen anytime soon. For that the thermostats would need to be accurate 🙂

 

[Mike Jackson]

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.

 

[nickelarsed]

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

 

[hammers4spanner]

3.25 metre lengths of copper tube for central heating drops.

use jhalf lengths of iron :cheesy:

 

[Barry98]

well i think your all just a lazy set of ungrateful so and so`s i tell ya you wanna be great full of the technology we have - WHEN i was a lad back in the day of plumbing you had to..................... never mind

 

[TomLane]

Hands that were similar to a Swiss Army knife! All you needed was there in your fingers; adjustable spanner, slotted driver, pozi driver, torch, nose picker, arse scratcher, bleed key, rad tool, possibly even a phone built into the palm of your hand!!

 

[Leo21]

I'd settle for isolating valves that don't pee out when you touch them.

You had to what? Mine the lead yourself and carry it on your back across the great viaduct then swim to Pompeii?

 

[TerryWaite]

A pedestal which has easy access to the trap

 

[Keefy]

REMOVE TRANSIT BOLTS painted on the back of washing machines.

 

[Sid Viscous]

At the moment I'd settle for some work. Had to resort to 'damsel in distress' jobs! Putting up shelves, putting together flat-pack, laminate flooring, decorating etc..............:disappointed:

 

[Dannypipe]

Sorry to hear that Sid.

I would like a zero gravity tool bag.A bit like the hover boards in back to the future.

So you could pull in a 50KG tool box and not have to go out to the van three times for a 'just' job.
