Funnily enough I am too old for installing now, but work is work and a mate has been giving me installing work. So have been trying to find ways to make it go easier for my body and bought one from B.E.S. not the make OP mentioned.

Haven't had an install since it arrived but has a little promise. Doesn't look like it will last very long, and not as fast as I would have wanted, but it does do what it says on the tin. Here is a dry run video.

Nice tool, look like it might cost less than the other one mentioned above, where can I buy one, how much do they cost.

 

[Paul Barker]

It was just over £100 from B.E.S.

Yours looks just as good Paul,just not the pridy colour,How long to charge battery and how long /how many cuts can you get from a fully charged battery

Charges up in less than hour but didn't time it.

Have not been on install since bought it but have used it instead of slice since and it's better than a slice, makes job go easier. Worth carrying.

I don't know the cost of the Milwakie which looks more versatile although roughly speaking the same. One is a copy of the other clearly.

A good slicer with a decent blade cuts faster than that.

 

[payney1974]

this looks really useful but £170 ??

 

[Paul Barker]

A good slicer with a decent blade cuts faster than that.

I agree, but that doesn't negate a purpose for battery assistance.

For methe ultimate tsestt is how many heavy instals it survives. If it servibes 5 qhich earned me 1,000 each I would be pleassedwith !

 

[Kip]

Yep but a standard slicer will last alot longer only costing a little bit to get a new blade. That is unless you lose the buggers under floor boards which i have done a couple of times.

I can see where people are coming from, sometimes in tight spaces it can be a pain to cut pipes but looking at the sizes of these there much wider than a standard cuter.

And that price! i wont go there.
