Hi,
Thought you might find this interesting.

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  _________________ DIY | DIY Video |

I think desoutter mainly deal in pneumatic tools now. They are a part of Chicago pneumatic.
Quite popular for assembly work. _________________ Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one? |
