OOh, I like the look of those saw blades. They'll fit my mitre saw, and are nice fine ones. One looks as though it's for something other than wood...............
I wonder if they are TCT?

Mind you I'm tempted by the SDS drill and the big angle grinder too..............

For anyone that buys the multi tool blades......they are crap!! I've used them a few times and they really struggle to cut timber.
Carpentry,I can explain it to you but I cannot understand it for you.

Stevie I can't see the multi tool blades in that advertisement. Were you just informing us in general?

I bought the Parkside multi tool & the switch is knackered after very little use!!!
So I wouldn't recommend that item either......... :angryfire:

However, a lot of their stuff is good enough for DIY use......... :thumbright:

One is for aluminium but it's also good for plastic or very thin wood. They are TCT and they are not bad at all, I use them in my 210 chop saw and my 254mm SCMS (with a packing board).

The clips for brooms and spades are really great space savers for your shed.

But yeah probably some other good deals around but check levels work etc and occasionally other shops beat them on price.

The set squares that they do sometimes aren't square btw.

No probs.

At those prices grab a couple of packs and mark one blade for Aly and keep another sharp for PVC etc.

Dont know what the Parkside grinders are like but most cheap grinders and discs are horrendous for vibration.
