New Tool Idea, Yes Or No?

[Jeepguy]

I was approched by a gentleman today with a new idea, he calls it the caulk-n-walk, basically a caulking attachment for any drill or screwdriver.

heres the link http://www.caulk-n-walk.com

he wants a backer to start manufacturing this thing. seems like a good idea, but we are not in the MFG business. its unique and i just thought i would share this guys dream with the rest of you.

I know literally as much as the website has shown me. lets see what you guys think.

good idea but they apear to be bulky. there has been air powered caulking guns on the market for a long time and still we buy the $1.99 cheapies by the millions. i wouldn't buy one and i doubt a building tradesman would either. another candidate for late night tv ads.

I could see that this might be a labor saver in certain types of jobs, but I don't need one.

Good idea that needs refinement. It would **** to end up on a latenight tv ad. Just think of how many wheelbarrows you would have to buy to carry all the money to the bank.

Why buy that when Harbor Freight offers this.

and I know there are better battery powered ones out there.

yep for about $30 i can add one to my ryobi 18v lineup.

Ill bend over and fill joints in flooring if i need to do that sort of thing.

I'm not seeing it happening.

Maybe but for me I still have to get down on my knees to tool the caulk after I laid it down most of the time.
