Bit of a longshot really just wondering if anybody has one for sale or any reviews on these...

Many thanks, Tom.

I have the 14.4v cordless one which is great for getting floorboards up. For bigger cuts I use a Bosch 110v which is also excellent.

I got one of these, I like it, does the job plus its not too big.

You might be able to get a better price if you shop around.

That is the same as mine but in an 18V rather than 14.4. Great bit of kit.

Thats the one im looking at, have just found it for just under £100.

Have you ever had to replace the blade on it? Could be useful for cutting floorboards as mentioned and cutting noggins.

 

[Gravid]

No haven't changed the blade yet, had it a little over a year, its been well used. Did think about sticking a metal blade in, incase of hitting nails but didn't bother.

Under a £100 is that naked or with batts and charger?

 

[SEC-Tom]

Thats naked. I have a 110v charger and 2 batts. I would look at getting a new battery aswell at some point. Do you know anywhere that sells them at a good price, can only really find them for around £50...

I can't remember the site I got mine off, I needed a new drill at the time so kind of got a good deal on 18v drill and circular. The batterys seem to be the expensive bit !!
