Dead line. Good rhythm going. Getting cockey. Making good progress hanging drywall post lunch food coma knife catches on square runs up left index finger down to the base pushing real hard missing the tendon and nothing else real clean real fast 13 stitches.
Two days later hanging rock again fumbling for screws with badfinger’s neighbor and wishing that someone would invent… some cartridge dealy bobber that you load with drywall screws and hold in your left hand, or that attaches to the out side of your arm, that would dispense one screw at a time (or 16d nail, for that matter). Oh, and yes of course, a combination drywall square/scorer — something simple with a track and safety blade.
So. Please, some one design and market these things. If they’re cheap and work perfectly, I’ll buy them.
Anyone have anything else they want to add to the list?

Hey Stephen,
As far as the screw idea goes, it's already been done. My rig is called a Quik Driver, but there are other brands and mechanism around that are pretty much the same.
As far as the drywall rock knife guide, I bought one a few years ago. It is a guide that is about 2" wide, and about 2 1/2" long. The knife connects on the outside edge with a wingnut, and the guide fits right onto the T-square. It slides down the T-square while you push down on the knife. Sometimes it wants to wobble a bit, but if you are paying close attention, and keep steady pressure, it works great.
I would like one of those remote controls with a mute button that you can point at a client who is talking too much.
Just a thought...

*I want a tool belt with lighted bags so I can see in the damn things.
*The tool that gets the job done in under what time was bid, perfectly enough of course for the big bonus, while leaving you laying in bed as if it was sunday, or lets you go to the races, and does'nt cost anything, while being a huge tax writeoff, does not make a sound while doing all of this, and changes the oil in the truck also.
*I want a framing square that's about 20' long on each leg for laying out new construction. That 3-4-5 triangle thing's the pits.
*A device that fits on all tools which will cause severe personal harm to the unlucky chap who walks off with one of my tools. Programable too.Well, of course not severe, but a good electrical shock ought to do it.
