everyone raves about this piece of kit, but is it actually worth forking out for?
does it do anything that conventional tools wont do? and does the cost shoot up once you buy the attachments to actually do the job
i am very curious,lol

yes its a bit gimicy yes the blades are very expensive yes you can do most things with other tools

buuuttt it can cut a cutout when you have no clearence on any edge
it can cut arcatraves and skirtings up to a wall/floor
it can cut flooring up to the skirting
you can cut plastic and copper pipes in seconds where you cant get a pipe cutter or blade in

yup, I though it was a bit overrated at the start as it lists all these things you can do with it which seem a bit silly as its a lot easier with another tools.

BUT as big-all pointed out its invaluable at times. and you seem to have no other option I have used it for everything Big-All said. I nicked bits of plinths to slides tiles in underneath. Looks neat.

Also used it to notch out tops of joists to put a cable on. (couldn't drill it)

And old pipes sticking out of a concrete floor. Easy to trim them flush

Only grip is the blades, made sh#t out of the wood blade when cutting architrave as there was a nasty nail in the middle of it

i plan on regrinding my blades when they become blunt

no subtilty just an angle grinder ultra thin blade mounted between 2 bits off 2x1" and equal tooth to space with the burr doing most off the cutting i would expect but who knows
