When installing a toilet, the final touch is caulking around the base which can sometimes be a mess. 

Leaking fixtures can waste a lot of water and money. 

This tool tip made my co-worker and our customer so happy that he made one and wrote my name on it.

On our trucks, we keep all our soldering material, such as solder, paste, pipe cutters, emery cloth, inspection mirror and other miscellaneous items, in small tackle boxes.
