If you haven't already found out, i'm a tool nut. I love the things!!!!
This gadget is from a little firm from Western Australia. The Arbortech AS160 is a tool i reckon most tradesmen could use in their kit.
Have a look at the video of it working and you'll see that its the business.

The only down side is its price. £800+ Does anybody agree with me that at that price, you could just buy yourself a wall chaser, diamond core set, top of the line sds, and still have enough change to buy a round for the lads. They risk completely alienating the majority of their main taget market. Guys like us!!
Alright its a good looking bit of kit, and it looks like it does the job real well. But £800, you've gotta be kidding me???? I'd pay £350 + blades??
Anybody know someone who has used one?
Also Brimarc. Send me one to review, and i'll be as impartial as i can!!! Oh and you can have it back straght after....  |

I'm away from home at the minute (on Dial up), I'll check out the videos next week when I get home.
I think that is the same tool that you can hire from HSS, I recently saw one on TT forum, you can see the post here- http://www.***************.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7148&PN=1&TPN=2
It looks very similar!
At £800+ it would have to be very special and I can't see people paying it to be honest
