Here is what I would buy from you inventive types:

* A self-sharpening, easily cleaned beard shaving system.


Google for "weed eater".


* A 3/8" rechargable ratchet like the one Skil used to sell for nearly
no money. Removing spark plugs was really fast and easy with this.
I miss mine. Gotta be more portable than an air ratchet, too.
Like the Makita 6706DWA, but lighter and for US$ 90., not US$ 300.


Those sound like they could be handy at times. I used to carry one of
the B&D electric screwdrivers with me when I repaired computers for a
living. It didn't save much time (which is OK when billing by the
hour) but it saved my energy. Have you tried the stubby 1/4" air
ratchets? They're still tied to a hose but they're a LOT more compact.


* An automotive GPS system that uses a full - size keyboard for address entry.


Built into the steering wheel?


* A flat - platen printer/copier/scanner/FAX with a full - size LCD screen
that shows exactly how the printed page will look.


That would be very nice.


* A screwdriver with Wiha system 4 blades, each selectable with just one
click as per the old multi-color pens:

Jayzuss, is someone here L A Z Y ? heh heh heh


* A machine that cleans, disinfects, dries, fills, caps and refrigerates my
Nalgene water bottles for far less money than store - bought water.


Handy!


* Multimeter probes that safely connect to wires or be used
as a conventional needle, without the need to keep track of adaptors.


Have you seen the spring-loaded style with the built-in hook, like
plastic-covered, spring-loaded gaf?


* A small canvas bag that attaches to the power cord of my angle grinder.
It stores the flange adaptors and wrench.


How much do you want to pay for one? Size? How about 420 denier
nylon with waterproofing? I'll use 1" Velcro to both attach and close
the beast, padding it with 1/8" foam for longer life.

Who all wants one of these?
