I've got the parkside which is brilliant the build quality is very good and has a long flex, great for £30- Lidl i think!
The Erbauer will be fine for you, if you think the use will be heavier go bosch.
A tip some people seem to not know is that you don't need the blade connected to the unit in a straight line, it can be at any angle which makes getting into tight corners very easy.
I would suggest one with flex as you maybe won't use it every job and charging routines relevant to that can be tricky to stick to - nothing worse than it going flat!

Good to hear - they were on sale for less than that in my local Lidl so I took a punt. I've yet to use it though ... anyone got anything that needs cutting? Screwfix have the Bosch one with £20 knocked off the price.

If it turns out to be really good and used lots and batteries are useless i can justify a De-walt which i have a load of the 5AH batteries for.
If you've already got De-walt batteries, it would be worth finding out if you can buy the De-walt cutter without the battery. Might work out much cheaper, because the battery is often the lion's share of the cost of these things.2Btoo said:

Been a god send for cutting skirting boards out, I've found the blaed to blunt rather than cutting through hidden nails, but that only happened with the homebase blades, I bought a parkside kit when it was in Lidl for £6 which came with 2 blades, a scraper, and a lot of sanding deltas. Havent blunted the lidl blade yet, so I'd recommend those if anyone wants a bargain.
