What do you think? Is there anyone here who use this machine? Any reviews, thoughts, etc?
My only concern is the low speed of the blade. Only 2500rpm, while other give 4000 or more.
What about its price? Any special offer anywhere?

Im a great believer as a tradesman of buying the right tool for the right job if im going to use it over and over again especially for my trade... however i needed to hack a load of old render off a house (well my thick labourer did) anyway i needed to buy a kango hammer or the equivilant... but wasnt going to pay £300 - £400 for one... well B and Q sell these ...

i've had the usual junk mail through the door but this one looked interesting.
my used would be for chopping socket boxes into a wall.

just curious to know if anybody has any personal experience info on these?

Upto a few years ago they would go on and on for 6-10years with no faults then just die.

Its been my main tool of choice now. Its one of those ones you didnt know how you ever did without it.

Mainly used for window refrub, you can cut a square out a corner of a frame, and replace with new. You would have had to chisel ...

After taking it apart, I found it probably needed a new armature as well so I went to a firm that sold parts and bought new brushes and armature. When I put the new parts I found it was just the same - I ...

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.
