A few inches is all I need it for, thanks. Basically I just need to use it once in a while to cut a floorboard to inspect beneath it, or to cut the skirting on a bath panel so I can open it.

Am I right in thinking these are good for cutting floorboards and skirting?

Is the Parkside oscillating saw good?

I emailed the suppliers and the want £19.50 for another battery so I'm not going to bother.

Just got one for £30, am wondering if it's possible to get spare batteries for Parkside stuff?

Well that wasnt what I was asking.

Was the old Makita a Li-ion battery?

Mine take a battering though, and get left in lofts by accident...

Thanks

Asbestos pipe lagging in poor condition isnt perfectly safe even if you dont touch it.

Yeah that's asbestos, and it was a bad idea to remove it yourself. Like others have said you will have contaminated the whole room, your clothes will be contaminated too.

True, but doesnt it look pretty broken anyway? That edge is very ragged!

Looks like fibreboard to me. Made from wood fibres. That's what it looks like in the photo anyway. I'm an asbestos surveyor and see stuff like that all the time. I'm not saying it doesnt contain asbestos though, just in case it does...

Can anyone recommend cheap chisels? I am an asbestos surveyor and go through chisels pretty fast, and I can never be bothered sharpening them.

Li-ion will charge much faster, stores more charge so lasts longer between charge, and does not suffer memory effect.
