    tool for channelling out external corners on capping and coving that arnt wrapped round (american style), like a groover with a guide plate that runs down the edge of the vinyl keeping it in place.

    A tool for channelling out the external corners, so instead of free handing the gap for the weld rod youd cut both sides of it nett then get the tool out and a quick swipe down the corner and its perfect for welding, like you would for the flat areas.

    Nope. I don't think it would be quicker either.

    No never had problem grooving externals cut as you would normaly ie blade down each side of external and it gives you a groove already cut just use p grover for grooving the actual cove bit

    A plastic bolster that's as heavy as a metal one would be good.

    Was thinking of this today as I was grooving out an external. Stabilizers with skid plates on the end and a threaded tube so you could adjust either side to suit....

    Loving the ideas here. For me it would be a glass hammer that doesn't break :)

    I think I would appreciate a hand saw that can also file and curve ends when needed. And perhaps a paint brush that has multiple brushes on it, helping you get the job done in a fraction of the time.

    I've down a lot of tiling in my time both on walls and floors. This post got me thinking. What would you chance about the various types of tiles we can get or what would you like them to be able to do?

    How about a dolphin knife that lasts longer . seems to me they wear far to quickly causing the blades to wobble and go blunt
