Yep. A Monument that is 35 years old. I occassionally replace the wheel,
which as still available from Plumb Center, also the same model is still
made (approx £15). If using pipe a lot get a Monument, they last and last
and work out cheaper in the long run, unlike buying power tools. If you are
doing just one DIY CH job get a cheapy from Screwfix.
