Ah, this is the thing they keep showing on QVC.

Kiss of death, then. Means they can't sell it through normal means.


I disagree. QVC has been an interesting discovery for me. Some of the stuff,
IMPO, is complete nonsense but other stuff seems to have some merit. I
watched an hour long QVC programme about George Foreman grills, after
refusing to buy one for over 2 years, and ended up buying one the next day
from my local Comet. Boy, I am amazed how great it is for steaks, bugers and
toasties (Tip - butter the OUTSIDE of the bread if making a toastie in
George Foreman grill).

There have been a few DIY tools that I think look really interesting on QVC.
The magicmitre is one, the bricklaying tool mentioned in another thread and
they also seem to sell quite amazing drill bits and sanding/grinding heads
every now and then. The concept of the magicmitre looks simplistic but one
for which a tool is required, especially where a room has corners which are
not 'equal'. t is just a shame the tool only goes to a depth of 4 inches and
not to 6 inches for deeper skirting boards. I would buy one like a shot
otherwise but still will most likely get it as I can see it's use in coving.
