What will they think of next?
Went to the supply house last week, looked up and saw this on top of the tool display case behind the counter. http://www.milwaukeetool.com/webapp/...00137_192137_Y
Guess I'm too old school. I'm waiting for them to develop a rechargable tool to get the younger guys off the cell phone and hand out of his pocket..............
.........Wait they already have that, it's a cattle prod
just did a search using online HR manual, no object found

I can see it now...
"Yo dude, like, this thing's outta power...does that mean we can go home now?"But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.---Psalm 50:16-17

I think they had a rough-in plumber in mind when they made those. The HVAC supply houses figured they might be able to cash in on a few sales to a/c techs that think those things are too cool to pass up. As for me and my house, we will not spend the money on those kinds of things.

I have one and never use it. It is definitely a novelty item. I did let a guy borrow it at a jobsite and the dumb@$$ stuck his finger in it to "check it" and it was not pretty. Broke the tool and messed his finger up, blood everywhere. Home Depot replaced it, no questions asked.

Being that I have had some plumbing experience in real tight places this is actually pretty damn cool.

I picked up one of these a few weeks back to try it out. Used it putting in baseboard convectors. Works real good in hard to reach areas. Lots faster than using the imps. It works best on the smaller pipe sizes, on 1 1/8 it likes to walk a little.
