Hydraulically-actuated locking pliers
I got a tool idea after all four of the locking pliers out of my Snap-On locking pliers set kept slipping off a 1/4" stud because the jaws and teeth on my Snap-On locking pliers are worthless and so I had to exhaust myself using a pair of $4 adjustable jaw pliers. (Notice how good I am at avoiding genericized trademarks when I choose to be.)
So has anybody ever seen a pair of locking pliers that you can "pump up" somehow, to get them to grip tighter than you could get them with your hand strength otherwise? Like a pair of Vice Grips with a miniature hydraulic press in them, so they could really clamp down on something.
I think they'd be handy.

There's your billion dollar idea.
Or...just buy Irwin Vice Grips and be done. They have a lifetime warranty, too.
