    Default Guess what I saw!!!

    I was at the Big B today and guess what I found in the tool shop.

    A Hand Saw (yes a hand saw) with a laser.

    Nearly swallowed my back teeth when I saw theme in a box, what will it be next a stanley laser guided plane or laser guided chisels or maybe laser guided hammers to stop me missing the nails and hitting my thumb.

    Whatever next.

    nails with homing beacons that go dit..dit...dit..diiiiittt as you get closer to hitting it with your laser guided hammer.

    It was in the shelf two below the hammer, but you must've missed it.

    I think the average toilet is overdue for electronic guidance

    But would a toilet laser work with the seat up or the seat down?

    They already have a laser toilet.

    Just some cross-hairs to aim at. I'm not sure if it comes on when you lift the lid, or weather it uses motion sensors. I think it just clips on to the toilet,

    They need to have intelligent toilets that lift the seat when under fire (or water) and move to compensate for bad aiming.

    If they cannot follow a pencil line what hope have they of following a moving red line?

    I guess they will always follow the red line - whereever it goes, there goes the saw

    I've just realised the target market for this thing - for people who have no clue about woodwork who want to buy a present for a person who does woodwork and has lots of tools and needs 'something they wouldn't have'. so who would this be???

    Ooohh...... Fathers Day....... The one day of the year you don't have to justify what you want as a present. Hmmm? What's it going to be this year?
