There are at least 40 sitting on a pallet at the Alfreton store at the moment.

There was stacks of them in Corby this morning.

I'm very happy with it for the price. Its no Elektra Beckum for £30 though

I confess I also bought the circular saw

Its a cheapy - but its a 1400W motor and should make short work of pallets etc.

Buy one, unbox it, get a mate to bring it round to your house and say you are borrowing it......sorted

Better yet, do the above but have your mate say "I'm returning this."

Even better..........fait accompli!

Just a point of interest if you've bought one;

I disassembled mine today and found the nut holding the belt spindle and the grinding wheel were both very lose. The spindle nut had come undone by several turns which was a bit worrying.

I'm altering mine to take a longer belt. If anyone needs to take theirs apart, be warned that the heads on all the screws are rubbish. The steel is very soft and heads will round very easily. Some have a nut on the backs so it's easier to remove the nut first from behind.
