VERY Useful Invention idea!!

Well, im building a rack tomorrow (adult 41 qt rack), and i have to melt ventilation holes on the sides of the tubs... And man does that take long!... BUT! I thought of an amazing idea that would be very useful (among the reptile community that is..), and that idea is to make a soldering iron basically, but instead of just having that one tip, there would be a bar type of thing with many tips on it (about 10), that all heated up and this allowed you to melt several ventilation holes at once instead of one at a time... Let me know what you think... Maybe its already invented? Im not sure...

Neat Idea!:gj::gj::D:D:banana::banana::D:D:gj::gj:

Heres a very rough sketch i made of it. just so you get the main concept...

Hey man run with it, you might have something there!

It may have some use outside of the reptile community. I can't imagine we're the only ones who ever need to poke holes in plastic but I can't think of any specific situations. I would definately buy one. I'm too lazy to mark out holes but this way they would be straight without drawing a line.

Big Gunns is on his way to the patent office to steal your idea right now.:D

Actually BG has thought of the same thing, but don't worry, he's not worried about making one. After poking millions of holes(no pun intended;)), BG would love to see one of these things.:gj:

Great idea. I know I've spent hours poking holes in tubs with a single soldering iron.

Except, you can really only use it to make holes in tubs, and if you have a tub that's the wrong size you might not be able to use it. Plus, having a single is more versatile, say if you just needed a couple more holes.

It would be cool if you could somehow make a soldering iron with an extension on it, so that if you need to make individual holes you could do that too. It'd need a locking mechanism of course, so the extension part can't fall on your foot while you're soldering. But then I don't know how soldering irons work and how they transfer heat into the metal.

Another idea, it would be great to be able to adjust the number of prongs.
