The great big plumbers wish list thread.

People who wipe silicon down their trousers are lazy!! Get a cloth!!

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.

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

The same wages as 5 years ago

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)

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

There you go mate:

Toolstation > Hand Tools > Plumbers Tools > Olive Puller

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

Turning into a toolstation fan page!!

That's great and all but I mean including 10mm.

 

[Dannypipe]

Ah!!

Yeah, it would be handy. I don't use the olive puller at all since I bought the monument olive cutters. Much quicker than the puller.

10mm olives are a git to get off, as the soft copper means it's often on there forever!!

If you make a tool that can do them all, put me down for one.

Hacksaw and fine tip screwdriver.

That's the one. He can't half pick a guitar though! If he still offends I'd settle for Albert Lee or Brad Paisly :cowboy:

I have the 10mm Monument cutter which was great when I needed it for changing valves on a 120 house job. Was great watching the other lads use their hacksaws because they wouldn't spend a few quid.
