The great big plumbers wish list thread.

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.

Id be happy with a bag that doesn't increase in weight as the day goes on.

Silicone resistant workwear

That would be bad.

I know what you mean.

I'm too tight fisted to leave even small lengths of copper tube behind.

I once dropped a quid, and it hit me on the back of the head on the way down.

On the subject of an earlier post, there is a flexible flush pipe and it's made by Wirquin. I seen it in B&Q today.

Did you stock up on them then?

I'm gonna guess here....no!

Why? It can stick when wet but peel off

I agree 100%. When I worked at the council as a contractor, all their direct bloke looked like dirty tramps. They always used to accuse me of not doing any work because my trousers where always clean.

I always wipe my hands on an old rag, or on the carpet if I'm I a minging house 🙂

Funny thing is you can silicone a bath and run out. But when you get it on your hands and clothes it seems to go on forever.

 

[mikegas]

I use a cloth but it still finds a way on my gear

The same wages as 5 years ago

 

[Dannypipe]

It's a right pain if it gets on your clothes. I use a trade wipe. I hear baby wipes also work.

You see some plumbers with it smeared all down their thighs. Looks a right mess!

Just my opinion, which doesn't count for much!!

Amen to that. Every man and his dog seems to want to be a plumber these days. Market is flooded.

Knee pads that stay in place and actually cushion your knees, failing that, new knees (btw I'm 27)

 

[Guest123]

When using silicone I just wipe my hand on my rse. That's why I've got a nice shiny white bum that never gets wet.

Private guitar lessons from Mark Knopfler would be nice, if anyone could arrange that for me...............😛unk:

If you are feeling it now Terry just wait until you feel what is coming in 20 years time :15:

 

[TerryWaite]

Yep I am feeling it now, back and knees ache already, hurt my back lumping 6 inch steel about when I was back pipe fitting, now I'm working for myself housebashing the knees are getting it. I don't think I'll actually have knees if I make it to 72

I've got a baby still in nappies, so I have tried the wipes. Tried a couple of different brands. They work after a fashion but in my opinion they don't work as well as the trade wipes that are £3 a packet in toolstation.

Toolstation > Cleaning & Pest Control > Wipes > Trade Strength Cleaning Wipes
