https://www.facebook.com/hergunyenic...44568/?fref=nf Not sure about the whole pedestal/table saw arrangement (looks a bit wobbly), but used within limitations, and on the loose assumption the whole thing holds lasts and has reasonably priced parts, brilliant idea, especially for DIY. -- Cheers, Rob |

The pillar drill seems to deflect from vertical when the lever is being used?
The rest didn't strike me as much advantage over individual tools in a useful big box - that would still need a workbench under it anyway?? Jim K |

On 09 May 2015, The Medway Handyman grunted:
https://www.facebook.com/hergunyenic...44568/?fref=nf Can't help feeling it won't be very robust - an awful lot of clicky plastic bits to get broken thereby rendering that particular functionality useless. Wouldn't my 18-year-old self have loved that for Xmas though? Has it only got a single battery for all that kit? Couldn't tell. But what did intrigue me was when the bloke set up his jigsaw and circular saw upside down in bench mode, he apparently clipped on a gadget with a cable... looked to me like he was replacing the functionality of a rechargeable battery with a mains adapter. I've never seen a cordless tool come with that as an optional add-on - brilliant idea for 'emergency use'! -- David |

So it runs off the battery at all times. -- Eednud |

I've never seen a cordless tool come with that as an optional add-on - brilliant idea for 'emergency use'! I thought that at first, but then saw him clip the battery unit onto the outside of the box. So the thing which looked like a mains adapter may only have been a connector for a remote battery. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.
