Plumber's Problems

[question]

Hello! I'm interested in the problems of plumbers. Are there any issues you have with a product on the market, or something that you might need to do a job not existing? Also, do you ever have to modify a tool or create your own tool to get a job done right? Please let me know, Thanks a lot.

Make something so plumbers can crawl around in a crawl space easily without strain on the body.

I have a customer who has a big house with a concrete floor in their crawlspace. When they call, I bring my Dad's old creeper along.

How about a robot that you can send in to do the work like the bomb squads use. Send in a $900k toy to do a $500 repair. I'm Okay with that.

lol Yes, and pretty soon these robots will advance to the point of being experienced plumbers, while doing the work for free; cause face it, robots don't need money. All that will do is send every experienced plumber out of business, and meet the plots of a few big time Hollywood movies! lol

Someone has to operate that robot. You can be an experienced robot plumber operator.
