There was mention of this tool on another group and when I looked up
the web site I saw that this tool can cut the bottom off architrave and
skirting.
I have always avoided putting hardwood floors down because I have never
wanted to take the skirting off but it looks as though this tool would
do the job.
Has anybody used one and can I get them anywhere other than the
internet, Simbles in Watford, my local tool stockists don't sell them.

Is there a clone around. This is a tool that is on my wish list. It is
so
versatile it covers about tools. At £60 or so I still think it is
worth
it. But someone must have made a look-alike by now.

Where do you find it at £60?! And how much are the blades, eh?!! :-)
Just came across a thread from a year and a half ago on the screwfix
discussion forum:

Having just ripped the skirting off in the bathroom I'm currently doing so
I
can get the new vinyl under the new skirting I was about to kick myself,
but for the price of the Fein I can probably buy the new skirting and fit
it in the time it'd take to cut the bottom off the existing skirting.and
for far less cost.

It is useful for cutting T&G boards and nice cut where the board rests on
the joist. Cutting the bottom of door architrave and other bits and bobs.
I have a rotothingy and that does a similar job, except architrave. And
doesn't cost silly money.
