Tools for DIY

Here we discuss tools useful for the competent DIY house-owner and the professional.

The ALLSAW™ 160 (AS160) is a revolution in cutting technology. Using a unique patented orbital cutting motion and two forward-facing blades, the Allsaw™ 160 is able to perform with degrees of effectiveness and safety which were previously impossible.

Allsaw160

Designed for the professional and DIYer, the Allsaw™ 160 is made to exacting standards. It is ideal for a variety of cutting tasks making it the most versatile and useful tool you will ever own.

  • Cut More: The AS160 is able to cut bricks, mortar, soft sandstone, natural limestone, timber, plastics, foams or any combination of these materials. It will also cut tree-stumps (through dirt and sand) and is ideal for pruning and other landscaping tasks.
  • Cut Dry: The AS160 cuts masonry materials dry, with significantly less breathable dust than disc cutters.
  • Cut Safe: Unlike disc cutters the AS160 does not throw dust into the air, or kick back.
  • Cut Deep: The AS160 is the only small, handheld saw able to cut to depths of 120mm (plunge blades) in masonry materials.
  • Cut Square: The AS160 is able to cut square corners, requiring no over-cutting, or bolstering.
  • Plunge Cut: Use the AS160 to cut directly into flush walls without stitch drilling.

If you are about to begin a major renovation project, then the Allsaw™ 160 must be in your toolkit. You will save so much time, you will rapidly save the cost of the AS160.
