I bought a power carver, but could not get on with it - prefer carving by hand. It has been sitting unused for a year so it will be better in the hands of someone who wants it. (see amazon listing for technical details and reviews - all links to commercial offerings are just to illustrate/identify the items - not an indication of where I bought them or how much I paid)

Included in the bundle are a set of flexcut power carver bits and handle without the wooden box but with a flexible case and a quick-connect handle. I think the set should contain fourteen bits, but I can only find thirteen. (see here for spec , not sure which is missing)
(tool roll) (handle)
Everything is in very good condition - except one of the original proxon bits (the curved one) which has lost a bit of the blade. The proxon bits are not that great to be honest so it is not a big loss....

Here are some pictures of the actual items for sale:

EDIT: I have found the fourteenth bit - it was stuck in the case!

I bought the Proxxon carver on Amazon for £115 and later bought the extra blades. I have only used it on softwood surfaces of turned bowls and so far it has worked well. Do not attempt to mechanically buff the blades, they just snapped. I have yet to buy the Proxxon blade sharpening stone. I suspect that it will not compare to the Arbotech power chisel which is twice the price and looks to be a much heavier piece of kit. Good luck with it anyway.
