Some people in life deserve a break and this guy is on that list.
What, are you referring to lunch break at work
go back to school mate , u clearly didn't listen to the video or ur just trolling.@@originalunoriginal4055
😂😂😂😂
"I've always been taught if you're the smartest person in the room, you're probably in the wrong room". Words to live by!
Wow I wasn't expecting that. The fact he lost his mum to cancer and then had to go through it all over again with his wife. Can't imagine how difficult that was for him
Sara’s conduct in this episode secures my belief that she’s the best addition to Dragon’s Den since the elevator.
You mean "lift"
She’s the only human being on that panel
I couldn't agree more.
She seems like a genuinely nice person.
I really hope this guy makes it happen.
If you ever lost a mother or wife, you know the pain is beyond tolerable. This man standing there is amazing.
I looked it up and the deal with Peter Jones didn't go ahead in the end. Alan Gillett decided to turn it down in favour of an exclusive distribution agreement with a big manufacturer/supplier (for some bizarre reason YT deletes my comment if I put their name in.. wt!?) who will be taking over all sales of the product from February 2024.
Wishing Alan every success in the future.. 👍
Possible to get the initials of the supplier?

@@scottwallbank4794 I'm afraid you're going to have to Google it, Scott. Everything I try for you gets deleted, including spacing out the ONE (H) word or trying asterisks 🤷🏻♀️
Everything I try is cancelled 🤦🏻♀️ *H*
Look it up, Scott
@@scottwallbank4794 Tried five times, Scott.. every time it disappears but you can look it up.. 🙋🏻♀️
What a guy! He's one you'd genuinely want to see do well. Been through the mill and still came out swinging. Delighted he got investment, hope it goes well
I work on building sites for around 25 years. That would get used
Oh wow, I was so moved at his gratefullness after he accepted Peter's offer. And he was so smart and not at all petty to go for his 25% offer. What a great guy!
So happy for him that he got the money i really wanted him to get it
Bless this man 🙏🏽
Nice gadget, the guy was honoust and asked a normal price. Finally an entrepreneur who isnt delusional.
I'm so chuffed for this guy, and I hope everything goes well for him. He deserves some happiness.
So, he's come up with an extractor that goes directly by the bit, held by the vacuum itself?
I'd buy that. Would be very helpful, especially with aerated blocks and the lung destroying dust, but also with wood, plasterboard.
Thay said, I think he needs a better seal on the adaptor where it meets the surfaces. I do have a couple of ideas for it.
Did you actually watch the video?!
Poor fella what a legend
That's a pretty neat attachment. I always hold the vacuum cleaner while the hubs drills.
we are all cheering for you! you are loved!
Well done Peter ....hope the lad finds all the happiness.
Such a gent and so is peter
After hearing his story, this guy deserves a break yeah
Very happy for this guy, wish him the best
This is brilliant. Any home with a drill needs this!
You'd struggle to find anyone more deserving than this bloke, I wish him all the luck in the world.
Its good product ive had done it with normal hoover .but this give better stability. I hope he does well bless him .
Really sound guy, wish him all the very very best.
Such a great guy. I'd love to see the whole pitch. Can Dragons' Den release full pitches ever?!
This is a great for infomercials or home shopping
Good on you fella 👍❤️
God bless him! 🙏❤️
Sarah you’re amazing person with amazing personality, you’re simply most amazing person everyone could ever seen
Great product - really clever
Nice bloke, best wishes 👍🏼
Good guy.. bro peter.
God bless.
Great invention and if anyone else is buying one, make sure it's Alan's because this guy really needs a break in life, what a gem 🎉
Hope he does well. Good luck with it👍🍀
Peter where are you going to sell them?
In your camera shops 🤣🤣
when my husband drilled holes, I was always standing ready with the vacuum cleaner underneath to catch the dust
Do we know if his product was a success? I wish him all the best! He seems like a genuine, empathetic and very smart guy!
I just looked it up and saw that it was sucessful.
@@anubusx 👍
@@anubusx Successful in what way?
@@SpyroTek
It has made a lot of money and can still be purchased.
I would have took both dragons there, Touker and Peter would have been ideal for him
Watched this show for years clingling on the hope i could come up with something life changing that will make me millions so i can clear my 15grand debt 😂
Top guy
Of all the people that have entered The Den I hope this guy becomes a millionaire.
40.000 is worth the risk and Peter saw an opportunity to give the guy a leg up and make a few quid... Nice one Peter...
Sarah is such a good person
Im buying this
There is no big extraction units on construction sites this would be a huge deal
I watched this series for years. Now state side. Watching the US sharks tank. It makes these investments look small in comparison. Nobody is asking for under 100k pounds.
Good on him they should sell them to hoover
I’m all for this Guy but I’m worried about my main Man ‘Touker’😢.
Alan pumped him up & ultimately shot him down(pretty quick). Don’t big on someone like that.
*should’ve posed a PJ/Touker split.
disappointed
Yeah it would have been wise to get both on them and offer them 15% each. I'm sure what what help Peter couldn't give Touker could and vise versa.
Wow this guy used to sell Herbalife to me about 10 years back 😂
Does Peter Jones own Ronseal?
He should have went with both dragons
is he wearing one of those power balance bracelets?
What do they cost to make? £2.17. What do you sell them for? £25. Excuse me?!
it is business , he needs to have a good margin too mate .
Lets make it for 2.17 and sell it for 1 dollar, its better to make the buyer happyer
Touker got so dumped 😮
F*ck I'm crying
look at festo germany already exists
He wasn't able to get a patent because it is already patented, so how he can make and sell such a similar product without repercussions?
Hydrox probably wondered the same thing about Oreos.
Dust going into the vacuum is going to damage the motor if there is no filter..........
Vacuums have dust filters.
If the vacuum has crap for suction, this sadly becomes useless
If someone was using such a weak vacuum from the get go, they'd hardly be worried about dust getting everywhere.
I can improve on that design by making the sucking holes tighter
This guy has some name.
His name is Alan? Lol
Just use a dust pan an brush😂
Peter always berates people if they dress shabbily. Steven’s pants look like they have been made of corrugated cardboard stolen from the homeless.
I lent then to him and didn't get them back. They are great for concrete work
Ethereum 👍
Homeowners everywhere would use this… this is something which bugs me when putting up pictures
Work on a building site drilling hundreds of masonry holes every day in rooms with no power available. Absolute nonsense unfortunately.
Watch the video again bro
In lands where history's whispers blend, a council holds the power to shape,
Their influence vast, at crossroads stand, with visions bold they dare to drape.
A leaf, once scorned, now stands to change, its virtues bright and ripe for share,
Legalization's dance could range, across fields green, a market fair.
This moment calls for bold advance, with British pride in every glance,
Economic blooms, jobs enhance, in growth's vast realm, a thriving stance.
Your influence, a beacon bright, could lead the way to clearer air,
With legal grace, and foresight's light, a future bright, beyond compare.
Together, let us march and dream, with hopes and unity in hand,
For justice, growth, and freedom's beam, in this pursuit, we'll make our stand.
A vision shared, a future smart, where peace and prosperity are planned,
With every soul, we play our part, on this journey, side by side, we band.
Thanks, Sam.
After 20years of conclusion, Thanks, Sam.
Deborah and Steven offers In for mandem and not for this 😂😂
"Lemme" be the 4th man to comment this epic video and record myself in the history of CZcams 😀
You will still have to clean up after working on the job. That's one small mess you save only to have to clean up after the rest of the work.
fIrSt
Yes…. So you are the poorest communicator in the room. Yup. That’s you
Pointless
Why is Stephen even there ? Race play? He doesn’t invest in anything and his only input is “I really know how to sell stuff on tiktok!”
Side note. This is why Peter is the DON. He’s right. This guy needs a break.
The guy should’ve worked both parties down to 10% each though and nabbed two dragons for 20%. They’d have said if he pays money back within a time frame they’ll accept. Im certain of it. Bless , he isn’t the best negotiator lol
New episodes have gone woke guys just to give you all a heads up if you haven’t began watching yet.
What's your definition of woke? Seems like the good ol Dragons Den to me, just the Dragons being a bit nicer this season
@@imrank9282yeah why are they nice?
