    CTD seem to be doing a special with Rotozip at the moment.

    I saw a dvd playing at the store today. I didn't get enthusiastic about it.

    seen it, is it just like an updated rotocut? had one of those and it was ok, worth the money imo. Only the bits let it down, they snapped to easily

    I bought the new diamond bit to fit my old Rotozip but i found it a complete waste of time and money. I gave up and used the angle grinder instead....job done.

    got one, used it and loved it...but fourth job / time I used it it started playing up (bit seemed to wander and speed varied) and now wont work...used the bits on my ordinary drill which worked just as good. Need to get it sorted cos I dont want to keep using the drill. Think I should have got the fein instead though
