Went into my local B&Q today for a length of beading, came out with a
circular saw :-)

Don't know if its just my local store, but they had Evolution chop saws.
Worx hammer drills, Worx 10v drivers, Ryobi 12v hammers ^ AEG circular
saws all on clearance for £30.

I bought the saw since I've never been that happy with my Makita 5604R.
SIL will be getting it as a pressie.

Really nice tool, cast base plate, 61mm depth of cut, 1600w.

I could certainly do with one of them. But their web site now claims no
knowledge of AEG. Nearest store is too far for an exploratory trip......

They have had them in store near me for a while. They had 2 in stock
today, I bought one.

Phone call might help? Hell of a bargain.

I have a big Hitachi circular saw, great but so heavy you can only use
it for a few minutes.

Thats why I went for the Makita, I had a monster of a B&D saw. AEG one
is as light as the Mak but with a better depth of cut.

Just been in to B&Q (Northampton) and no luck. Still, 25 mile ride in
sunshine and a couple of pubs on the way back was worth it.
Thanks for the tip.

Sheffield (Penistone Road) had some power tools on offer but mostly bench
jointers and bench top pillar drills (both Performance Power). There was an
assortment of other power tools but nothing that lept out as a particularly
good bargain.

Foklestone didn't have any of the AEG saws (shame, I could do with one of
those). A big stack of the chop saws, and a load of crap^Wown brand planers
and stuff.

Only thing that seemed a particular bargain was a stack of a dozen or so
hitachi 9" angle grinders.

Bargain for 30 quid if you want one - unfortunately I don't :-(

sent for £10 via a local carrier.

Thanks Dave.
A pile's posh - there was SFA in mine yesterday. There were hordes of school
kids around in several groups and a bit in the way. Seems a bit daft having
lots of kids in on a Saturday 'cos the place was heaving anyway.
