Waste of money really. nope

Wish I had got a small cheap (kitchen sized, 4"x4") wet cutter instead

Got to disagree with you here mate think your one is a dud as I use mine all the time and it will cut anything great fro plunge cutting sockets also toilet waste pipes. I have cut marble, slate, granite, porc, ceramics and glass no problems. It is one of the best bits of kit I have in tool box.

Yes the blades are dear but if you take your time and are not rough with them they last for ages. As for battery life yes it can eat the battery depending on the material your cutting but I can get complete splash back out of one charge and still have life in battery. I normally have spare on charge if I need it.

So I would recommend anyone to get one most of the guys I know once they have seen me using one on a site go out and buy one. Brill for site work where power is limited. All you need is a bucket to cut over and away you go.

Am using it one a site just now have completed 4 batrooms and ensuites in porcelain. Job before was travertine and used it for that as well.
