For years - in the repair industry - we've struggled with rocks, but - for most applications, they're really just too large.
Last night, it came to me: the "HANDROK™".
- It's small enough to fit in the palm of the hand.
- It can be used to knock down high spots, rub out creases in brass instrument bells, burnish pistons/rotors, chip off small pieces to use as replacement finger pearls, and several other applications.
- In the realm of woodwind repair, it can be used to adjust stubborn piccolos.

Re: new tool invention
Only a few dozen people
(mostly professionals, but also some community bandsmen who play those July gigs two miles from their assigned parking areas)
have purchased the location-programmable (with manual override)
bLOKE-O-DROP™ tuba/case delivery system.
(liability insurance available for an additional fee, or - purchase five and receive one year of insurance for free!)
hey...It ain't my damn fault that y'all (particularly you behind-the-times peeps - who fancy yourselves to be "engineers") don't keep up with the latest technology.

As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.
