    The Mantis Tiller

    I bought the Mantis 4 stroke earlier this year, I use it on my allotment , it works brilliantly for deep cultivating and tilling. I am a very satisfied 76 year old , the mantis means that now I can keep my allotment without the annual hard graft of digging my 600 square feet of ground

    NuTool BT130 Planer/Thicknesser

    A while back 2 or 3 years ago, I bought a Nu-Tool bench top planer , it worked reasonable but very noisy, 2 years ago on ebay I bought a brand new Nu-Tool lathe with electronic speed control , I have given it a fair bit of use and cannot fault it. IMHO some of the Nu-Tool stuff is not bad

    Good deal for those with a P/T

    I have had a set for while now, I have found them to very easy to use, I have set the blades on my Tendo P/T quite a few times and every time they are spot on. At that price I would recommend buy them, I paid a lot more when I bought mine from Rutlands
