Plumbing Tools to make life easier?

[1SHUMEVenture]

Hello,

I am carrying out research for Sheffield Hallam University looking at the plumbing industry.

I am focusing on plumbing tools which aren't currently available.

Is there one product, device or tool that is not currently available that would make a plumber's life easier? (Please describe)

Thanks for your help.

Nothing technical or clever but works a treat (suppose I am a bit old fashioned) but I use rags for whipping

Just go to the old fashion shop and buy one I wish I thought of that

I used to have a Speed Wrench which was sent to me by a friend in the US. Was made by someone like Rigid tools. Had sprung loaded jaws which gripped the flats without marking them and worked with any size hex nut.. Then some t**t nicked it.

I think the yanks call them footprint wrenches -

No, Footprint wrenches are the same as what we call Footprint Wrenches.

Speed wrenches look a bit like this [DLMURL]http://www.rothenberger-usa.com/fileadmin/fm_usa/Product_Images/70220_Speed_Wrench.jpg[/DLMURL]

Footprint is a Brand name, a good old fashioned UK manufacturer.
