Bought this really useful tool recently, they do still have some in my store.
From mem about £35 and spare tools extra.
It has scrappers and triangle sandy discs etc but the bit that interested me was the saw. It oscillates thru a small arc and literally can be plunged. In my case into Luan (poor mans Mahog).
I had left a misted up double glazed pane for far too long and the dripped condensation had rotted a corner section. I could have chopped it out with a wood chisel and just filled it with Ronseal filler after drilling holes and saturating in wet rot hardener. However, I preferred to let in another piece of mahog. The plunge saw allowed me to make precision cuts without damaging the next section along. Then I just had to shape up a piece of mahog to go in and glue and screw ... small gaps got a little filler.
Not for those that don't do battery tools: for me Li-Ion is fine and they hold charge for weeks or months on end. Good charger on this device as it has a light that goes out when fully charged. Being cordless it makes for a more precision feel like a surgeons tool. Really good to use and the blade and attachments can be put at many angles for getting into restricted areas.
The saw blade did come loose a couple of times but that was just me getting used to how much load to put on it.
Will it be useful for much else? Radios maybe ... cutting out broken trim ...
I have no connection with Aldi, just a customer who like there stuff. My wife calls them "my tailor" as I buy many of there clothes
