What tool either doesn't exist but you wish it did, or is way to expensive? Also, what tool do you find the most difficult to use? Perhaps a template or tool guide that would make your work easier, but as far as you know doesn't exist.

I thought they had already marketed the engineering joke, the turbo encabulator, more commonly known as EV (electric vehicles).

An automatic, or any, bobbin winder for Tippmann Boss bobbins 

Even something fashioned along the lines of a fishing line spool winder - the type for fixed spool reels

Since Harland & Wolff closed you can only buy 'diagonal steam  traps' 2nd hand and they fetch enormous prices. A cheaper one would be welcome

Let me rephrase that: What hand tool doesn't exist but you wish it did?

Fred, some people mount small motors or hand cranks on the bobbin winders that are designed to ride against the belt of the machine. My Boss came with a metal stem split on the end and goes in a drill to wind bobbins. Easy to use and 20 plus years later I have still never used the built in bobbin winder on a machine.

Some kind of roller with an edge treatment attached (beveller maybe) for soft leather. It can't be pushed so it would have to be like a minute angled lawnmower.

@x546JP If I may ask, why do you want to know this?
