Title: Power workshop in a small box
Post by: tigertiger on December 05, 2015, 09:45:37 am

I saw this on line when I was looking for my new table saw.
It would suit a modeller with a small shed perfectly.
It looks very well designed and practical.
It isn't cheap but compared to getting these tools separately, and the small footprint, it looks to be well worth the money. Especially to those just starting out who won't have many/any of these tools already.

Amazon reviews seem good.http://www.amazon.co.uk/WS3-Lithium-Cordless-Workshop-Version/dp/B004O0TJ3Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449308175&sr=8-3&keywords=power8+workshop (http://www.amazon.co.uk/WS3-Lithium-Cordless-Workshop-Version/dp/B004O0TJ3Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449308175&sr=8-3&keywords=power8+workshop)
It looks ideal for modellers/hobbyists and could handle heavier work around the house.
The jig saw converts to a scroll saw, safely.
There is a video of all of the tools and function,  if you scroll down the page of this Chinese website http://world.taobao.com/item/520916473906.htm?spm=a1z3o.7406521.0.0.d0cW8L (http://world.taobao.com/item/520916473906.htm?spm=a1z3o.7406521.0.0.d0cW8L)

I bought one of these off of FatCat a couple of years back.
Vey good but can be a faff to keep swapping the bits around

I love it, but I don't have the patience to put it all away tidy.
