Has any of you guys tried this tool? I tried to view it at

tv but I did not see a price.. I thought some of you guys might know
somthing about it.
Thanks a head of time, for your input.

A rare case when a TV-ad wundertool actually does everything they say
it does.

It's a very good detail sander, generally rated second only to the
Festool, and its sawing capabilities are unique--it can for example
cut nails off flush to a surface or cut between two boards with
minimal damage to either. And that leaves aside all the rest of the
stuff it can do. It's also the safest saw that you're going to
find--you can put your finger on the blade teeth with it running and
nothing happens.

It's made with typical German quality which is to say it's built like
an armored personnel carrier (I would say "built like a tank" but
that's the heavy-duty version)

It's not the first tool I think of when I start out on a project, but
it is the one that I'm glad I have when I screw something up.

It does have weaknesses--the major one is that most of the accessories
are quite expensive--get the XL/Top kit (in some places it's called
"XL" in others "Top" and you'll save quite a lot over getting the
contents separately.

Profile sanding (different from detail sanding) is so-so--among other
things the selection of profiles is very limited. If that is your
main need then in my experience a set of Tadpole sanders for 20 bucks
(go to http://www.woodworkingshop.com and search on "tadpole") will
do better than any powered sander.

If it does something that you need done then I recommend it highly.
