Does it still work Rich ?

It does yes.

:-)

But it's cable is a little perished in places and it's and earthed tool so I'm not keen on using it.

It's certainly a classic.

I would not use it if I was you either, but I'd keep it as i bet it is very rare :wink:

I think desoutter mainly deal in pneumatic tools now. They are a part of Chicago pneumatic.
Quite popular for assembly work.

I think desoutter air tools are the choice of surgeons (unless its a makita in a plastic bag) :thumbright:
